White Fire Haiku

Yismach Lev meVakshei Hashem
.
Happiness inside
-is it better to feel good ?-
is what truly counts
~
~
Tzadkeinu BaMishpat
.
Justice and kindness
G-d/King equally loves both
Truly Distinct One
~
~
Sim Shalom
.
Bless us as one
in Your Countenance, Your Light
with Eyes of Goodness
~
~
This Much I Know
.
Could weight be anger?
Pain expressed in pounds of flesh?
The answer is yes
~

Dr. Roz
.
I miss acting days
living an exclusive world
Truth; teaching is life

Nice!
Thanks.

-------------------

Here are a bunch more. One day, please G-d when I collect Haiku for my book, I hope I find these 13:

If only only

man would be humane to man

so much less pain - then

----------

Oy, ups and downs and

walk the dog around the world;

life as a yo-yo

----------

Stay off street corners
except to cross at the green.
When the light turns - Go!

----------

Mah hu, af atah
He is merciful and kind
We must give that way

----------

A dead man once said
that life goes by like a dream
- before he was dead

----------

A. The meaning of life
is that it's a waterfall
or maybe it's not

B. Life happens even
when you're not busy planning
like a waterfall

-----------

"Happy with your share"
Be that and the pain may go.
That is a rich life

-----------

Denial of truth
depends on little except
on being human

-----------

We all have one thing
we see or hear just one time
and never again

------------

Who is a good boy?
Which man or boy among us?
Can we ever know?

------------

A. It has been written
that no man IS an island
but what about WANT?

B. "I am an island,"
Elliot and Simon wrote
speaking for us all
