Haiku for every day of June 2023
June 1
Leave Port Aransas
Stopped at New Braunfels Krause Cafe
Hofbrau and sausage
June 2
Buddy’s Place with Marc
Jam session – Austin music
Free to be just me
June 3
Swim in the morning
Afternoon will come to you
Be happy, feel free
June 4
Foreign righteousness
I cannot make my self right
That is just a gift
June 5
When does my heart stop?
May held my uncertainty
God’s unbroken vase
June 6
The Holy Spirit
Would love to wrestle with me
Over time, change my life
June 7
Got those new glasses
Eyebuydirect, they look good
Can see clearly now
June 8
Watch the lake’s surface
Circles – there will be a fish
Soon, jumping blue green
June 9
At last! Texas tags
White plates on our pearl white car
TDX, not TEX
June 10
Bought roadside peaches
Friendly pickers serving us
Small, red, full of juice
June 11
Tomorrow, heart cath
Sent morning texts to friends
After loving dream
June 12
seek saints among us
they know their redeemer lives
watch, then wait, rise up
June 13
Be still, do the work
It’s true, I am not home yet
Take deep breaths in God
June 14
you will be home soon
follow the rabbit-proof fence
price is worth the pain
June 15
Carry my life with me
Memories, my hopes and dreams
Inside, blessed by God
June 16
Name your gifts, then use
Them. God strength gives me away
But I lose nothing
June 17
Patience means to wait
For the coming of the Lord
All else falls in place
June 18
Tell the God-stories
Just as often as you can
Heroes, just like you
June 19
Sure, we’ll be surprised
But the Lord is at the door
Patience means to wait
June 20
Mary Kay outside
Sit, talk, hundred year old pics
Breathing in our lives
June 21
Dry blue sky, burnt corn
John watches from across fence
Helpless wasting wind
June 22
In church mother follows
Daughter with crayon outside,
Swings her white gauze dress
June 23
Rest. Lift off judgment
Of people, place, ideas,
Shoulders, relax. Rest.
June 24
Quiet baby Kam
Her brothers holler loud, long
Kam watches still, rich
June 25
Greeks “receive the face”
Understanding “prejudice”
Look you in the eyes
June 26
Love the backyard birds
Nighttime planes, leaving O’Hare
Such beckoning sky
June 27
Driving range with Marc
I can still hit the golf ball
Straight, but not too far
June 28
Dressed up brides and me
Danville’s never seen the like
Prison wedding joy
June 29
Oil, coffee, friends
Pretty busy day today
Last day in Champaign
June 30
Drive and drive and drive
Tired! Sleep fifteen minutes
And then I am home
