Soul Lessons by Frances Anna Ayers (best new books to read txt) 📖

Rattling Of Mother Earth(Triple Haiku)

Earth wakes the living
And sends her inhabitants
A powerful jolt

Running from dwellings
With no place left to hide out
Hoping for silence

Escaping her wrath
Till she calls on us again
Will we be ready?

The Souls'Joy

Bright light to others
Imbued with goodness and love
Seeks a higher goal

With faith and purpose
Sets out on a far journey
Discovering life

Amazed,delighted
By what it finds everywhere
Can now reach the stars


The Souls'Lament-A Senryu Chain

The soul is darkened
By anger and bitterness
Hiding hope and love

Swallowed up by hate
Buried by paralysis
Without chance of life

Goodness is foreign
Repelled by dark forces
Keeping the soul captive


The Soul-A Cinquain

The soul
Reaching beyond
Searching,striving,asking
Happy,loved,cherished,accomplished
Brilliant

Seasonal Haiku

Winter winds go forth
As it chases away those
Caught up in its'path

Spring flowers appear
Filling the air with perfume
Inspiring artists

Summer heat scorches
Earths fragile inhabitants
All seeking relief

Fall colors enthrall
Gracing leaves and tender trees
Coloring our world

Nature Haiku

Birds are natures voice
Transmitting all her beauty
For us to admire


Heaven Senryu

Souls soaring higher
Heaven is within our reach
Of those who seek truth

Angels guard frail men
As they journey toward light
Wings brush against wind

Heavens blinding light
Leaves us dazzled and amazed
Unable to speak

Wisdom

Uncommon knowledge
Gains strength like a hurricane
During a storm

Surprising us
When we are unaware
A flash of lightening

Happiness

Happiness arrives
Like a brightly wrapped package
Soon to be opened

Anticipation
Like the feel of rushing wind
Quickens the process

Elation sets in
As the gift of happiness
is slowly unwrapped

Love

Complex and moody
Requires cultivation
Produces fine crop

The gardner takes care
Nurturing every flower
With patience it blooms

Despite tender care
Love like a delicate plant
Will sometimes wilt

Patience

Like a new seedling
Covered by the darkened earth
Man waits to emerge

Pushing up slowly
To an uncertain future
Takes a deep breath

Breaking the surface
Showered by bright sunlight
Growth comes slowly
