My Place Below the Hill
Fresh ocean air Oh, take me there! To the place below the hill Three hundred years I hold it dear Ancestors can be felt still For all I've roamed My heart knows home And it cannot get it's fill How does it long! For ancient song And the view from mine own sill A seat of peace My mind's at ease Oh, the terrors a place can kill Soon I'll...

Thy scent O Jasmine Captivates me till I wake From its spell at dawn. _________________ Haiku |06.03.2025| flowers Note: Night-blossoming jasmines never fail to...
