Haiku
\nFrom the Heart II<\/o:p><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

A New
\nCollection of Inspirational Haiku<\/o:p><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

by Joseph Anthony<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

The winter moon sleep \u221e dreaming silver light below \u221e shining
\ninto prayers<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Silent winter trees \u221e silver shoulders holding hope \u221e waiting
\nfor the spring<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Insomnia sings \u221e softly within my breathing \u221e of moonlit
\nwinters<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

When seeking the soul \u221e search the mirror of your loves \u221e
\nand where your dreams fly<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

January freeze \u221e makes me dream of fireflies \u221e rising
\nfrom the grass<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

With a touch of grace \u221e the heart bursts into blossom \u221e
\npraising the sunlight<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

The world enlightened \u221e by the wonder of each child \u221e
\nshining from their eyes<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

So much pain exists \u221e in every heart and spirit \u221e speak
\ngently today<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Reading life’s fine print \u221e I notice a smiley face \u221e
\nhidden at the end<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Souls blossom slowly \u221e petal by petal they bloom \u221e
\nsharing fragrant light<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

A circle is born \u221e dancing with the Beloved \u221e deep into
\nthe night<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Praising is the way \u221e that blooms the way to heaven \u221e
\nthat draws angels near<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n
