HAIKU
Jennifer Gurney, US
happy and content
dewdrops
glistening in the sun
***
one foot in front
of the other--
I step closer to you
***
even the most
gossamer of connections
tether me to you
***
the moon
the stars, the sun
orbital balance
***
your love
was a blanket
for my heart
***
ocean touches sky
at the horizon --
infinity
***
the power of
our words
to lift each other
***
my miles-to-go are
very different now than
fifty years ago
***
when I open
a box of your letters
you are here
