Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Like the Angels

Temptations are rife.
But Anne keeps me honest.
Thank You, LORD, for her.

The world would have it
that our friendship be undone.
Let it do its worst.

Love can not
be undone.

When things get insane, my Miyang keeps me sane.

Impatient


THERE IS A SENSE
of wide-eyed anticipation
which is a marvelous work, indeed,
wrought by our peerless LORD
to excite upon hearts of good will
a wonder of good things to come -
a wonder of good things
so infinitely unimaginable
yet always within
immediate grasp of our joy.

It lends to the soul
an almost impatient feeling
that stays at the limits
of one's awareness
and amidst the noise of
our necessary labors
and the sufferings of
this necessary life
is ever present, ever vigilant,
ever ready to take wing
to lend its refreshing certainty
and add buoyancy to our hope.

How marvelous, indeed,
my constant friend and companion
are the works of our LORD:
Alleluia! Amen to God, Alleluia!
