A new day a new haiku
Great grey buzzard wings
Stetch out, swoop and soar above
Desolated fields
Trees like fingers grow
And as above so below
Roots like rivers flow
Walk that road again
Although black clouds are looming
Somewhere the sun shines
Only in my mind
There I left myself behind
In the bluest sea
We return to earth
The same rain is back again
Remember sunshine
Now I’ll fly away
Up and into the darkness
Into a new day
Navigate the reef
Urchins and anemones
Swirl all around me
When I drift away
Leave my remains in ruins
Under a green glow
Another storm brews
Stop waiting for tomorrow
Sunlight breaking through
I’m up in the clouds
Am I looking for something
Or am I losing?
Does the rain chase you?
Or are you following it?
Follow the sunshine
A snowy clearing
Remember what was here first
A distant echo
The relentless hum
Millions of lives being lived
Restless busy buzz
Apertures agape
Beside the blackthorn blossom
Creatures cast their clouts
A glimmer of hope
Another season has sprung
A new moon rises
Fuzzy evening light
Illuminates new catkins
In a final glow
Open up my eyes
Today and only today
Once I have been here
Roaming no man’s land
Dribs and drabs and cut off scraps
Enclosed in our homes
Flat iron needles
Fold me into sharp creases
I see white fields
Between evening fog
And deserted railway lines
Next year’s trees spring up
Wandering again
On another adventure
Into the sunset
Low smoky clouds lie
Fine lines on the horizon
Fade into the night
Sundered in two halves
Divided and torn apart
Ripped into pieces
The howling wind blows
Biting, bitter and burning
To my very bones
