Today's Sunday Lime is inspired by the prompt at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
[...] "Remember that when you leave this earth you can take nothing of what you have received, but only what you have a given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage". [...]

bird songs and sunsets...
all those words wrought in
the space between breaths

ocean mirrors sky
leaves of the coconut trees
dripping rain drops


closed butterfly wings
chrysanthemum buds yield
to the morning breeze


apple cores like stars
shadowy night clouds cover
cool ocean ripples


daisies face the sun
under hay in the cow shed
secret code whispered

2011 photo - "crossing the waters to Chacachacare Island"

akin to new sites...
a novel eagerly read
draws us to this quest

vastness of the azure sky
a pirogue skims the waters

in the far distance
the much talked about lighthouse...
sea spray undaunting

2013 photo, (the lady in the red top - my daughter) in the queue to buy tickets for a movie


She wears her jeans of blue,
Caught in a teenage oooh;
"Looks painted on"
Those catty cronies remark;
Oh, but she; happy as a lark.

the night is over, yet this moth
slumber tranced clings to the wall

yellows flecks unfailingly stayed
span two centimeters if so many

morning light streams through
is she warm cold or even she

mottled dusky wings refusing flight
to rest and mysteriously to disappear
