Glass – Page 8 – Iron Haiku

deck lights turning on
unexpected visitor’s
nose against the glass
–
rising smoke
camp fire
embers

feeling the glass give
reaching in through the mirror
to pull myself out
–
glassy water
ripples spread
across the surface

light from the full moon
spills through the open window
and pools on the floor
–
waning
molten silver
moonlight

deep in the furnace
liquid glass, hotter than fire
waits for the artist
–
blown glass…
a moment
frozen in time

since you got sent home
I’ve been sitting by your side
praying you’ll return
–
waiting-
trying not
to lose hope

in grape arbor
a cardinal seeks shelter
from the driving rain
–
secluded
deep within
my wine glass

a mirror’s surface
where the water meets the shore
ripples in the wind
–
cat tails
growing in and
out of the water

a shaft of sunlight
pierces the dirty window
and falls to the floor

A lake flat as glass
The calm belies the hunger
Beneath the surface

Winter shore winds blow
Swirling my daughter’s hair as
We search for sea glass
