On Sunday
*Haikus are 3-verse Japanese compositions
consisting of a 5-7-5 syllabic structure
"The
sun hurts my eyes;
a big fir stands behind me
awaiting audience."
A day we may rest
read, sleep, play, or contemplate
reviving holy faith.
Hearing children laugh
playing nearby grassy beach
bring fond memories.
The lake's fresh breeze
revive my spirit's center
refilling spent life.
A lazy dog barks;
I half-open a sleepy eye
falling back asleep.
Feeling the hot breeze
a book page flutters forward
like new days passing.
Sunday restfully passed
stengthened, inspired.
