The Sun Our Morning Star
The Sun Our Morning Star
(Haiku)
1.
Truck treads on pebble
early morning cumulus
parked on a shoulder.
Father by Hot Spring
yodel off the summit clean
time heads down the hill.
Glory of mornings
forget this world of sorrows
listen to bird song.
Splendid Alpine scene
Sierra peak near Washoe
to bike King’s Canyon.
A creek with tadpole
diamond dull ice melt water
a native alga.
This lost paradise
pearly gates of heaven blue
a place to call home.
2.
A bird blood jacket
hand me down to wear this trip
grove near the creek side.
Hidden within Pine
a high ceiling log cabin
cut at a crossroads.
Impurities flow
downstream with a Rainbow Trout
search for purity.
Long rock braced switchbacks
a few more miles on this road
car coughing near grove.
Hard granite canyon
when the blue sky is Eastward
Zen Monks pray by wood.
Walk a thousand miles
land of Medicine Master
Old Man Medicine.
3.
Park and pull the brake
boulder bank with leaping Trout
breath in water sounds.
Illusion of net
secret ancient medicine
under foot of trail.
Where the Eagles fly
out of sight but not of mind
within memory.
A view for the few
bare sunlight on these spaces
molded empty sky.
Collecting branches
to throw twigs into a bay
to create a nest.
Jacket bird blood stain
on old family hand me down
near trodden pebbles.
4.
Wearing mountain hat
soft is the mountain sitter
old Coyote land.
A celestial moment
to birth in light of each star
from a pine seedling.
Purity in Pine
along the route of Rainbow
Trout in river home.
A thousand summers
strong like water that cuts sand
many shades of blue.
Pick Huckleberries
to make a bow of flowers
hung around our necks.
Walked million canyons
yodeled on many summits
listened to bird song.

An excellent haiku collection, Jamie. Good imagery and a pleasure to read.
Wonderful work on the haiku, Jamie. Makes me wish I could once again get out in nature and hike around to see all the beauty.
Thank you John and Phyllis. Jamie
