Enough light to see the path; enough courage to take the step; enough sense to enjoy the walk; enough company to share the time.

April Fool (a "haiku" cycle): XXX


Brush of fine gray hairs
Marking time in tiny lines,
My face, your parchment:

Dig not deep thereon.
Write "mirth" instead, and "grace,"
"Welcome," and last, "peace."

April that was here
Now shall pass into a May;
All shall pass in time.

    Oh, Kathryn, this is so beautiful. I love every line but especially "My face, your parchment" and "Dig not deep thereon. Write "mirth" instead ..."

    Lovely, lovely, lovely!! <3
