Haiku #18

Memorial Day -

A day of remembrance,

and I remember.

Haiku # 17

Last day on the coast -

Irene always felt home here.

Feeling close to her.

Haiku #16

Kites sail in the sky

above the beach. Your spirit

sails in the heavens.

Haiku #15

Nighttime hides the waves

but the surf's pounding is heard

over the darkness.

Haiku #14

Pacific City

Springtime at the ocean - me

and our memories.

Haiku #13

Time has passed and grief

is diminished somewhat but

emptiness remains.

Haiku #12

Shells, bells, glass floats, plants -

I look around the house and

see pieces of you.

Haiku #11

Warm Spring days you would

be covered in wet red dirt.

I dig and become.
