Sprouting apple seeds
a garden in the half star
secret life within

An Epiphany
An epiphany
I hear you through my haiku
As I write my words
Discerning moment
To know I am listening
To the heart of God
It’s a comfort to
Know God’s voice is within me
His spirit guides me
Thank you for today
Peaceful glorious morning
I abide in you
Rejoice in the Lord
I lift up my voice and sing
Hallelujah, God!

and the grace of God, Kim writes haiku every day.
Lovely.
