Gifts from the Sea (Haiku)
Gifts from the Sea Offerings to the Great Spirit. The heart knows.

Wearing the sun’s rays, wise women glow bright yellow. Joy-filled songs spring forth.
River roars with snow, carrying winter to sea. Green warmth will soon spread.
Winter’s cold fingers grip tightly to the landscape Spring waits in the wings.
Temple to winter quietly stands sentinel. Birdbath by summer.
Freeze-dried rattling, brown leaves in the winter wind. Echos of summer past.
Winter tiptoes in Snowflakes quietly pile up Laying fall to rest
Deep roots connect to earth mother’s sacred energy. Feel it in the bark.
