He whispers to me of things sinister & sweet. Heat rising. Heart beats.

#Haiku: Open Flower
soaking up the sun
African daisy flowers
joyous signs of spring
of morning ~
who will tell
of morning mists
when I have wandered on
beyond the tempt
of story
into another dawn
who will write
and who will speak
for those denied a voice
who will know
of ways they keep –
by destiny
or choice
what song
the dove
remembers well –
for another one she flies
by touch
a stand of cedars –
holds each star
against the sky
what history
the river lays
along a path of pines
who will bear
their stories home
when light
has tempered mine
. . .
Today’s Quote
It takes courage to live —
courage and strength and hope and humor.
And courage and strength and hope and humor
have to be bought and paid for with
pain and work and progress and tears.
~ Jerome P. Fleishman ~

Something in a lighter vein!
We do need to keep up, body and mind with the whole growing old(er) thing! The best thing that we gain with age is wisdom to let go!
