Overcast (a Haiku)

The sky is encased
in white, as puffy clouds mark
the late summer sky.

Reconnecting

We were two friends
at a birthday dinner,

Catching up with
the ups and downs of life.

While taking a walk,
a full moon hovered

In the clear autumn sky,
and we loved the breeze

Gently whistling through
the leaves.

We loved the pure
perfection of that evening,

A start of a reconnection
to last a lifetime.

Updates

Each week I reach out
and connect with them,

Clinging to any piece
of information,

Updates serving as
crucial lifelines,

Since any news
about my grandparents,

While sporadic, is
never enough.

Gradual (a Haiku)

Calm breezes and bright,
sunny skies set a backdrop
to Summer's demise.

Falling Rain (a haiku)

Rain falls steadily,
clouds obscuring the waxing
moon rising tonight.

Strength

I accomplished so much

these past few months,

Yet every now and then,

the challenges emerge.

I need to make sure

that I'm strong enough 

To ask for help when needed,

and believe in my strength.

Sifting

I sift through
my memories of

My mom over the years,
caring for me

In different stages
of my life.

As I ready myself
for my wedding,

I feel her presence
more than ever,

Yet I still miss her
company immensely.

Closer

I reached
that moment when
I am close to being
rude if people keep ignoring
the rule.

Uncertainty

'Yes is a world',
was my mentor's sign-off

At the bottom
of her e-mails for years.

I looked forward to reading
her wisdom on writing,

Poetry, brainstorming
month after month.

I never thought
that uncertain times

Would invade
my peaceful space.

I never thought that I
would spend months, years

Away from my
writing sanctuary.

Some day soon I hope
to share my stories

With her, with our poetry
circle once again.

Flight (a haiku)

Beautiful Sunday,
butterflies gliding in an
array of colors.
