Author Description

Within us, cells are dying and being recycled each day, while Earth itself renews each Spring. Mentally, we can be renewed, too, when second chances present themselves, or when we turn over a new page, or just make some small, but positive, change. In the spiritual life, there's the idea of being born again, or simply enjoying a time of refreshing of the spirit. In health, there's a constant search for healing, wellness and wholeness. In Rebirths, his third and final volume of haiku, Michael J. Lee focuses on the forces of rejuvenation throughout creation and in the human world. Simple and strong verses share moments of transient inspiration in experiences with God, nature, the African bush and in interactions with significant others. SUMMER EVE Under moon and stars, in the pool, I feel so real: held up by water. ON DUST Dust can be stardust, Walk humbly over Earth's crust: cosmos of powder.
