A New Disguise

In Need Of A New Disguise

preparing for the day
unsteady hands apply the camouflage for the face
though not deftly placed
obvious ailments are masked

if only the makeup could extend the length of the body
concealing the disabilities

that scream
she
is
a
sick
person

there is no hiding that

Moonlight

splendour of the eve

amidst the clouds above us

gentle moonlight touch

hold me close in your caress

wrap me safely in

wrap me safely in

sheltered from the dark of night

Nature

A post for;  ABC Wednesday - H for Haiku, and Sensational Haiku Wednesday - nature.

at the water's edge

watching undulating waves

holding me spellbound

the gentle rhythm
lulling my senses softly

my gaze holds steady

looking out beyond

a memory for keeping

nourishes my soul

prompt - fate

Rebirth

soft wind blow through me

gently lift my spirit high

soar beyond the clouds

in the up draught float

hovering above the realm

lofty dreams advance

hope wafts in the breeze

caresses the soul’s shadows

promising rebirth

Haiku Sequence, a number of haiku grouped together continuing one thought, for combined impact  to cover a sequence. Though a continuation of thought, each haiku should be able to stand alone.
