precarious-- still--

:

.

wind rustles the leaves
precarious-- still-- they can't
deny they've fallen

:


.
:

traces : left : to make

.

footprints trace those in
smooth sands deep that time will tell--
the hours-- yours to make

.

porcelain pages
blown open by this wind your
fragile faith shatters

.

almost falling

.

often trip over
instances oblivious
and keep on walking


.

wading :: underwater~haiku

.
.

wading through waiting
drowning in waves that at times
caress my warm skin~

.

stepped out from shadows

blinked in the sunlight
squinted surprise in your eyes
you winked cuz you knew--

tracks

railroad tracks old and
broken and trains sometimes crash
and do we go back----
