One Deep Breath-The Unseen
soft breeze caresses my cheek
then sighs
spirit's breath
whispering my name
comforts my soul
When I was out walking today ~ which was a true gift of a day, a cloudless blue sky, and air filled with the fragrance of crunchy leaves baking in the warm sun ~ I stopped for a minute in the park and closed my eyes, letting the cool breeze gently wash over my face. I felt a fleeting moment of true peace, as if the wind carried the gentle touch of an unseen spirit, sent to calm my heart and ease my mind.

My first thought was to use the wind as my inspiration, but I couldn't find an appropriate photo (I don't know why I think I need a photo).
I love "caresses my cheek."
Lucky you to have such a beautiful day today.
(P.S. I hope you're not going to bail on your blog for the month when you start NaNoWriMo. I'd miss you)
what a tranquil/spiritual/zen haiku...uplifting just to read it!
I don't know if it is, but that photo reminds me of the New Zealand plant toetoe. Lovely haiku
Your use of the word "whisper" sent me off on my own creative journey. Thank you.
Those are both really beautiful!
These were beautiful! You capture such a beautiful feeling in these haiku.
:)
I really love these. They are just beautiful, beautiful both of them. :)
How beautifully you describe your day Becca - blessed!
Two truly beautiful poems and a fabulous photograph to match - clearly a wonderful day!
Love the poetry of the first one.
The photo and the haiku fit each other so. Lovely.
this poem is filled with gentleness ... lovely photo as well. much peace, janepoe
Lovely, Becca!paws!!
Are the verses supposed to be connected? I first think yes, then no, then yes, and I keep going back & forth. Amazing.
the first one is a sigh itself...really beautiful.
