A Haiku Milestone

one dream at a time

each step a milestone achieved

embrace life's sunshine!

Mother's Lullabye

sleep my baby sleep

mommy's here for you to keep

together we shall be counting sheep

hush my baby hush

can you hear the mocking thrush

singing like a nightingale at first blush

rest my baby rest

i shall hold you close to my chest

on my shoulder your head may crest

Veiled Core

a spectral cover

reality's misty cloak

enigmatic veil

Lost In Reverie

you are
the silent witness
that tells
no lies

a mute confidante
that holds
all secrets

behind the smile

no line or flaw
is hidden

you reveal things

as they are

without fear
of reprisal

you bare both
beauty and blemish

with cold neutrality

the phantoms
crawling
in one's head
the angst and
trepidations
buried deep in
one's heart
all these chimeras
remain
clandestinely
subdued

unless the master
so exposes

and as the day dawns
when you
can no longer
hold your
silence
you shatter
into pieces
carrying with you
a thousand riddles
ensconced in
countless
glistening
shards
