A Night Serenade

Through the open window
In the distance be the train whistle
The rumble of wheels upon track
The thundering airplane directly above
The crickets sing
The silence rests
Gentle winds
Sweet be this summer night
A night serenade
Through the open window.

Of a Summer Night

Of a Summer Night

entrancing be this rhythmic sounding
the night in its captivating calls
crickets in mystical orchestration
the air still and alluringly warm
seductive be this darkened vista
bewitching light of the brilliant moon
corona of jeweled tones luminous
this the rapture of a summer night.

The Open Window

The Open Window ~ Haiku Reflections in Triune

the feel and the sound
sweet sentiments of the night
the open window.


heard are the crickets
night melody of summer
gentle winds of grace.


embrace of spirit
echoes of serene stillness
ONE and PRESENCE known.
