Haiku 5-7-5 —Four Thoughts To Start The Day
the scent of flowers
prevails in the morning air
nature sings softly
to find happiness
open windows of the mind
let your dreams enter
the sun still shines
behind all lingering gloom
ready to bring cheer
beginning today
reflect on gain— not what’s lost
feel life around you

Don, this is marvelous! So rich, so vivid and the photo's were a wonderful asset to the piece. Moved me off center and promoted the kind of clarity that helps one see all the importance of living!
Worth repeating!

DF, these are awesome haikus. I especially liked the thought in the last one. We'd rather think about what we have rather than what we lost. Life would be so much easier to live this way.
Excellent, my friend.
Voted up and awesome.
