Six Short Poems
by JM Prescott
I Miss You
Today you miss this sunrise
this conversation
this story.
I see a little you in me
you'd be proud
I believe.
I miss you today.
Can't please everyone
Or sail in all directions
Sail on
Stay the course
Still the ill-pleased storms come
To suck the wind from my sails
Wind tell me no lies
Blow through me - and find my heart
I am never still.
Building a slow wall of mist,
Keeping me inside.
Today you miss this sunrise
this conversation
this story.
I see a little you in me
you'd be proud
I believe.
I miss you today.

Endless clouds of grayHaiku II
Building a slow wall of mist,
Keeping me inside.

Inbetween Beliefs
I live inbetween beliefs
looking for faith
in the middle
to trust myself
in the middle
to live
beyond
the inbetween
I live inbetween beliefs
looking for faith
in the middle
to trust myself
in the middle
to live
beyond
the inbetween

Now scares me
Not growth to come
But growth left behind
Can I move forward
Without losing
Tomorrow knows
And isn't telling
Tomorrow Isn't Telling
Now scares me
Not growth to come
But growth left behind
Can I move forward
Without losing
Tomorrow knows
And isn't telling

Enjoyed these pieces, JM. Nice works.
Poignant mind pictures these conjure up for me, Jim.

sorry, JM
Nice. I like Haiku II the best.
I enjoyed each of these as well. Quite quiet and lovely and filled with food for thought.
So beautiful. I love how they convey everything with no excess, everything is minimal and polished. We would really love to have this at 'Like Birds Lit' if you are interested. :)
I am really loving the first one.
I especially liked the second haiku. They all had an element of hopefulness that shared itself with uncertainty. I like the way you frequently write about the seemingly opposite.
