A new day a new haiku
Silver meltwater
Slowly succumbs to the sun
Cleansing your grey limbs
What is a regret?
Is it just a mistake? Or
Does it still cause pain?
Here we stand on guard
Watching over the valley
These short human lives
When westerly winds
Weave whiley winter weather
Whither will we wend?
Even dead leaves, on
Drab dull dismal deary days
Look bright and cheerful
Just for a moment
Everything froze like a stone
Now we are melting
Over bleak fields
And through all the wild hedgerows
Let your cold wind blow
From crimson to gold
Last year’s growth scratches across
My evergreen eyes
Every new day dawns
Over yesterday’s ashes
Phoenix arising
Lift me up again
With memories of summer
Long low winter sun
When the first light dawns
Bright tufts flare orange above
Hazy teal acres
The wide open sky
Stetches out all around us
Everywhere we go
Winter starts to turn
The first signs of life spring up
From autumn’s debris
How many more years
Will you stand and watch over
This fading landscape
Juvenile Oak trees
Keep their red leaves all winter
It’s called marcescence
Greenish goads grow gold
On our rugged robust rods
Spiny evergreens
Slowly the snow drops
Fluttering flurries unfurl
Seizeing the daylight
Where there is no sound
Beneath the cold leafy ground
That’s where I’ll be found
Now all that remains
Of your hopes and dreams and fears
Are the inward parts
Goning on a walk
Birds glid and glode by the lake
We fellund right in
As the daylight ebbs
And memories fade away
The road never ends
If I ever find
A tree that is big enough
I will live in it
Distant teal tree lines
In the winter our world fades
Smoky bonfires rise
Haunted branches weave
Evil shadows between life
In the wild wild wood
