New Day

By Bk Muze
My tea is too hot. 
I'll sit a short while longer
and watch the sun rise. 

New Moon

By Bk Muze
She looks away now, 
hidden from view but waiting. 
What magic comes next?

Bk Muze lives in California suburbia, longs for mountains and dreams of the ocean. A childhood spent on a family farm in Pennsylvania created a deep appreciation for tiny things, often unnoticed by others. She tends herbs in pots, manages a small non-profit art gallery and shares her home with her partner, daughter and lively grandson along with a big white cat and a sweet, large rescue dog named Bunny.

“Haiku is a perfect form to express ethereal thoughts and emotions that magically arrive when one allows the world to slip away, becoming truly present in the moment.” -Bk Muze
