This Haiku: What Words Do

8am unglued
Connect my dots together
And steal my breath back

This Haiku: I Ran To Tell You

I pierced tender light
Sat indignant, watched it bleed
Yet you washed my feet

My heart beat convicts
My mind bows first, then repents
I ran to tell you

I am gently coaxed
From that river where my heart
Seems to need to plunge

Each day filled with peace
and freedom from fear, if not
filled with sweet quiet.

I never compete
There’s no need -none can compare
I was born First Chair

I’d deemed the song done.
Dimmed the House lights. Then you stepped
to the podium.

How is it you’re odd.
Yet so perfect. Always late.
And still right on time.

And so it seems now
That I’m broken and exposed
Rebuilding begins

You’ve kind with your wise
A shy smile after Bright Eyes
This world needs your style

If I jump gentle
And God will give His blessing
Will you breathe for Me?
