Haikus for Solstice

Solstice sun unseen
grey clouds gently raining
Spring's apple blossoms

***

Winter's strength comes from
a deliberate stillness.
Choose to rest awhile

***

The puddles of rain
offer portals to heaven
if we just look in

***

As trees turn inward
Fear not that the sap runs slow
For buds lie just below

***

This eve again I pray
for peace and understanding
as I do each day

***
What would I have me
do, say, be, feel, and stand for
in the name of love?
