HAIKU WIND SPIRITS

Wind Woman, Oklahoma City, OK

The south wind spirits,
ride on towering storm clouds,
and shake the corn stalks.

The south wind spirits,
ride on wild bucking broncos,
and fan prairie fires.

The south wind spirits,
ride on vapor streams of rain,
and nourish the land.

The south wind spirits,
are sent by the Great Spirit,
to bless the people.

GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN

Winged Spirit, Jamestown, NC
Cone Flowers, Jamestown, NC

Early this summer I planted some cone flowers amongst the daylilies in my backyard pocket garden in hopes of attracting butterflies this year. Like the movie “Field of Dreams”, the plan was to “build it and they will come”. As I mowed my grass this morning, I moved into the backyard and immediately noticed a flurry of activity around the garden. The colorful winged spirits have arrived!
