Likely Planets: A Haiku

At times, I’m frightened
Stargazing above, alone
Wishing you were here

My Sky: A Haiku

The Constellations
I've need to unravel Them
To disclose the stars

In your Due North Sky
Far more stars than I knew why
I saw galaxies

Of sand, stars, ashes
We’re on our knees, sifting through
Blindfolded even

Steady my looking glass
Tame the night sky
Instruct my young hand
Intrigue my aged eye

You know you owe me
An amazingly awesome
Explanation God

Be healed
Outside
Under the stars
Or the stars above the clouds

With warmth
And friends
Around your neck or underfoot
Be healed

How clear are the stars

and how sweet the cool, crisp air

by your piece of peace?

We need
A something
Four wheels
Bench seats
Stick shift

One, true, motor

Silent roads
No compass
Only stars
Not indulgence
Just survival

Praise You, that You placed
the Sun in our souls, and too
-the stars in our eyes.
