QUIET KINDNESS
Healing Haiku from Hawaii
Spring
In the spring breeze, pink
Bougainvillea blossoms float
While the sparrows sing.
Monarch butterflies
Land on the lava sea wall
Above the sand crabs.
Summer
The old man makes a
Shadow where his wife can stand
At the hot bus stop.
The baby cries at
Nap time. The dog jumps up and
Snuggles beside her.
Autumn
The sea turns gray and
Flat as the golden plover
Lands with fall’s first rain.
A gecko darts up
The garden wall in the bright
September moonlight
Winter
Near the canal at
Dawn, old fishermen feed the
Herons in silence.
A drum circle sits
Under the banyan, sharing Their sounds with the sea.
