On the road

i sit in the rain
my face is all rainbow smiles
i live and feel well

walking a long road
turning here and there to gaze
hoping for some light

the night can be long
but always comes the dawn
to brighten a heart

travel on your road
be true to feelings inside
be gentle with you

Allan~

May the road meet you
Lined with good friends to greet you
Warmed by morning sun

May night hold you deep
In the quilting of sweet sleep
With dreams unfolding

"...being in touch with our world our feelings our life." You got it Dean.  

Wow, truly beautiful haikus Marge...

Uta, hmm.. It's best they don't ever see the light of day I think! Thanks for your lovely remarks...

Thanks Michelle and dg!

And dg, I'm pretty sure Desiderata by Max Ehrmann was at the back of my mind when I wrote that particular line...    

Edit: In fact now that I re-read it it is almost a direct quote - 'Desiderata' reads 'Be gentle with yourself' (Whoops!)

dg, not sure if you mean the word or the poem...

desiderata the word:

the plural of de•sid•er•a•tum which is something wanted or needed. (Same root as desire I suppose).

Desiderata the poem:

You'll find the explanation at the bottom of this page. Thanks again!  

Dennis: Wonderful wonderful haiku - thank you
