Desert Breath

Spring winds, out here in the west

Some see as a bit of a pest

But the blowing sand

Lends a helping hand

Providing rough gyration

For tough vegetation

Spreading their seeds

For desert life to feed

Providing life anew

From desert breath that blew

To be fair

It cleans the air

From the desert it erased

All prints slithered and paced

Spring winds, out here in the west

Can sometimes be the best.

--Kamala

Meditations at midnight . . .

Om Mani Padmi Hum

Listen to the beat of the drum

Breathe in

Extinguish sin

Breathe out

Let out doubt

Dance all around

Release your frown

Om Mani Padmi Hum

Feel the beat of the drum

--Kamala Land

Haiku touring

Tough bicycle tours

Indures the soul to summit

Unconquerable

My soul sees spirit

Unknown to me unfolded

Cleansed and bare naked

My soul is shaken

To its very core open

For the world to see.

--KL

Heart Haiku

Born in the southwest

My heart dreams rocky mountains

Its breath blows my mind.

Circling Haiku Cycles--by Kamala Land

Circles, cycles as

My pedals spin around. Wheels

Roll upon the earth.

Minutes spin into

Hours, days, weeks, months to years.

Spins life unto death.

Youth is immortal.

As age sees finality.

Life circles cycle.

Bubbles small and large;

Circling, cycling, splitting, break.

Circle complete—end.

Babies grow into

Adults into elderly.

Life circles cycle.

Clocks weave time essence.

Plans, dates, deadlines, importance,

End unimportant.

Watched become watchers,

Watchers turn back into watched.

Life circles cycle.

Earth dances with stars,

Moon, planets, frolic in space.

Play circle, cycle.

Circles, cycles as

my pedals spin around. Wheels

roll upon the earth.
