forget-me-nots

forget-me-nots
bloom everywhere
love endures

light

used books
new for me
light on old
and new leaves
of a house plant

older years
and today
new perennials
and poems

new green leaves
on trees that knew

the colors
of dramatic autumns

in silence sometimes
and in small ways

new dreams grow

Carol enjoyed the blogs and sharing her work with many readers. This is a post we created at Haiku Art Site for October 28, 2015.

Before the service –
an oriole carries my thoughts to God
and back

The first hymn –
we sing our way
into harmony

Prayer before soup
we unclasp our hands
to break bread

Driving away
whether or not to go home
by the usual road

shaped by the wind
and seasons
