Soul of the Healer


Haikus | to pdf >>
By Roger Baxter, MD

 

Loss
The empty darkness
wrenched out of what we call love.
Snow melts, blossoms break through.

Awe
The moment of AWE
Is gone. Try to bring it back
And I miss the next.

Mystery
Search for the myst'ry.
Is it inside or out there?
Is there a diff'rence?
