Safely asleep

The dawn’s not yet broken
and I’m travelling again
on the road for one more business trip
With birds still asleep
as the night is yet deep
I tip toe up the road lest I slip

Sleep II

I’m working on the premise
that something soon will change
and when I’m least expecting it
A move to rearrange
will catch me by surprise one day
and the dove-cote doors will close
cocooning me in slumber
from my head down to my toes

HAIKU: MY LULLABY

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

Waves Washing Ashore

Sleep

 

Burning quietly in the night
a single flame flickered
reminding me in its yellow glow
of a distant place
where memories linger
soft in the warm whimsy
of a cathartic embrace.

Forty winks

 

Caught myself some forty winks
or maybe thirty-nine
I wasn’t really counting
as I was snoozing at the time
However, it was just enough
to recharge my tiring mind
Close my eyes and drift away
relax, and just unwind

Shine Of Heaven

in my daily garden
from dawn to dusk
comes a soft shine
glistening the apples
out from their shells
blushing behind leaves

~ Father of Song of Golden Lyre ~

~ Father of Song of Golden Lyre ~

Father of song of golden lyre
Play sweetly
That slumber I may find:

Charmer of all living things
Divine your hymns, divine your strings
Venerated by humankind
Soother of lonely souls that pine
