Haiku for June 2020

Monday, June 1

What gorgeous weather!

Met with Deb to talk in park

Mask on, smiles behind

Catch me by surprise

Wake me when the rain is gone

Nap so sweet today

Listened more today

Find compassion and care more

Then trust God, relax

Dr. Deem,  Christie

Interrupting natural

Path of life with meds

 

How long, O Lord

How long? Live until we die

Break in now and then

June 5

take off all my clothes

jump naked into the stream

cleanse me now O Lord
