A Moment in Time

My soul bursts with love
I will love you for all days
I will wax joyous

(This haiku was written while bicycling. I often find the scenery of Madison County, where I live, Inspiring)

Elizabeth's End


Some of us have been unlucky enough to have known someone who has descended into Alzheimer's. I wrote this haiku in memory of a distant relative who made that journey: 
  

"Elizabeth's End"
Haiku at 85

Where did myself go?
Have I only the past left?
My youth beckons me.

In loving memory of Elizabeth Bickel
