....with her eyes.....she will
though buds sleep....steal the sunrise

.......her sighs.....held in awe
to paint the day....delightful

meditation of rosary beads

Haiku My Heart lazy

1924

['Emily Carr, "Big Raven" (1931)' courtesy The imaginary garden]

without his sweet song
this wooded bird clings to blood
of wastelands bleeding

where love is lost deep
such heartless yearnings for stone
cringe in fresh baked bread

wild wind stares aghast
frozen in the midst of toil
unholy dramas

I have, as many i’m sure, associated the holly with Christmas. And then again, three are those who say every day should be Christmas. So with no hesitation or qualms i write in response to Kristjaan’s prompt today
Carpe Diem #995 Holly

Symbolic Messages from the Holly
Let your beauty shine within even in times of dormancy
Rule the day, and let your generosity be your legacy
The energy of life is ever-present

1918

After a few days rain. I sweep the path of leaves, and gifts of debris - twigs the birds leave as signposts of their presence. Early morning sun is warming and inviting to those with a passion for another day. Surely it may rain for tis the season of The Rain, but then again maybe all day long the sun will smile her broadest and sweetest, hottest.
