Haiku Poetry
by Ken Johnson
The night sky twinkles. 
Prehistoric points of light 
Poke through our Present. 
 
 
Cunning cat crouches; 
Alert eyes in quiet fur; 
Patience poised to strike! 
 
 
Silent redwoods stand. 
Centuries of braided time 
Woven into wood. 
  
Flat, rounded pebbles 
Nestle in the shallow surf 
Sanded smooth by time. 
  
God radiates love 
Without discrimination. 
Life reverberates. 
  
Tiny threads of love 
Erect suspension bridges 
Spanning difference. 
  
Silent, steadfast shore 
Restraining moody water; 
Land defining sea. 
  
Man and Woman join 
Creation's inner circle; 
Building love a home. 
  
Twenty-six letters 
Intermingle into words, 
Giving thought a voice.
