Writing Haiku on Fridays seems to have caught on. For me, it is the "From the heart" part that really pulls me in. When I travel around to the others that participate and read their poetry, I am put into another world, a world they are sharing with us all. To view other Friday Haiku blogs, see the beautiful photos and participate, go see Rebecca at recuerdo mi corazon

| The night September sky as seen from my perch in New Mexico Daylight's end is near Evening spirits wander here Night shadows appear |
This shot of the crescent moon and evening star reminded me that there is a Star Nation above us, day and night, but we only get to imagine the spirits that surround us when daylight wanes and the night sky lights their way. ( I know, it's a planet, but I call 'em stars).
Who knows what spirits might be watching, visiting or traveling with us as we crawl on the Sacred Earth Mother. I like to think there are many that see us and accompany us along our chosen paths, or maybe even some that guide us in a certain direction. And if you subscribe to the theory of the existence of Angels, well, maybe they are there, and maybe they are the spirits of which I speak. Spirits, Angels, all one in the same to me.
This latest trip gave me a lot of traveling meditation and the thoughts that I pondered may have triggered some changes in my life. Hopefully these are good changes and were managed by these same Spirit Guides and Helpers that looked down on me from the celestial orbs above.
Peace

What a gorgeous photo--and haiku. And I couldn't help but smile and enjoy that warm feeling in my heart from what you shared.
Welcome home, sir.

Nice to have you back--but I'm extremely glad for the journey you got to take.
Awesome image! Your haiku speaks of my favorite time as daylight fades into the distance. No better place to reflect than the open road. Happy trails, road warrior!:)

Beautiful haiku. Love the narrative piece even more. I can feel your reverence for the vastness, the potential of stillness. Wow.
What a lovely haiku! Beautiful words!
Your new camera takes great photos. Sounds like your trip was enjoyable.
Yes, the evening spirits do seem to reach out to us a little more, especially under such a gorgeous sky. 'Tis a sacred moment that comes through in your photo and your verse.

Welcome back, Spadoman!
HOLY COW...what a beautiful photograph! And your haiku is equally as beautiful.
Yes, I too believe in the existence of angels/spirits who might be watching, visiting or traveling with us; guiding us in a certain direction.
Wonderful post! And like Mel shared...I couldn't help but smile and enjoy a warm feeling in my heart.
Have a grrrrreat weekend!
Hi Spadoman,
I love your Haiku and photo. I lived in Santa Fe for a year and my sister and nephews are still there. I am going there in October and will visit some sacred places and take a photo journey if I can. I especially love Jemez. I am not sure if you know that area. I love the idea of celestial guides. My mom passed five years ago and I often think that she watches over me from above. It is a lovely thought. Thank you for the beautiful post.

Beautiful photo and I love your haiku and your words. Spirit guides, helpers and angels - Sacred Mother Earth - I like the idea of these, I could live with them.
Thank you all for such wonderful comments, and thank you Rebecca for starting me on this road to attempting to be somewhat poetic. Believe me, I write as I am thinking, as if I was telling you my thoughts. If any of you were to be sitting at the park bench or coffee shop table with me, this is what I'd be saying to you. I believe these things, not so much as absolute truths, but as a guide to how I perceive my own path in life.
I thank you, each and every one of you.
Peace.
Beautiful...I cherish the idea that there is a community watching and helping us on each of our personal journey's.
there is something abt new mexico that's very special... the sante cristo mts have that same spiritual feeling as well... i can understand your thoughts well... it happened to me when i passed thru new mexico too.. i wanted to stay..
