Today marks the first anniversary of this blog. Hesitant at the start, I never thought it would survive this long. Although there were periods of hibernation, times when my spinning wheel refused to work, it's enough inspiration to see that this blog is still getting pagewiews.
Considering this day to be special, I would like to celebrate it by sharing a snapshot story in haiku.
a night with the moon
after evening walk
at the front lawn i linger
the moon to savor
looking up i see
an island across the sky
gray clouds surround it
slowly brightening
eastern part of horizon
golden moon appears
peeping through the trees
bright full moon slowly ascends
past the blocking trees
it goes up in time
shining bright in all splendor
someone else watching
the gray clouds before
now so illuminated
i watch in great awe
the clouds drift away
from the moon shining so bright
shy they have become
magnificent moon
my heart's beatings you can't hear
nor my soul's yearnings
wish i could see you
smile down at me every night
and just defy law
"be content dear one
with my periodic presence"
the moon speaks to me
with no words spoken
me and the moon conversing
just thoughts...random thoughts
air is getting cold
soaked in your presence i go
dear moonlight thank you!
