A new day a new haiku
These tidy trim lines
Belie the desert behind
Where are all the trees?
Following the sun
To the never ending west
Restless pioneers
Whether we fight it
Or vainly will it to come
In the end all sleep
A rock to my left
And a hard place to my right
This fence looks comfy
I feed on your death
And turn it into poison
A love parasite
In the gloomy deeps
Drag me out from underneath
I’m still clinging on
Though we will decay
Old bones beneath us still lay
Today is our day
Turning leaves cling on
Yet the sun has slipped away
And rain has set in
From this tiny seed
Grows food, shelter warmth and light
Patience rewarded
Brings us together
Then pulls us apart again
The river of life
Rummage in the leaves
For hazel, beech and chestnuts
That the squirrels missed
I lost myself there
Falling, floating, flying off
In the deepest blue
In this wilderness
Dormant seeds lie expectant
But will they flourish?
Round brown found tears
Falling down around my ears
Resound loud and clear
Green fields of England
Pinned together with hawthorn
My final blanket
The lava red road
Leads me ever nearer home
East and west I go
And now we go home
Leave behind our shadow lives
Go back to our phones
I wanted freedom
You can’t stop me screaming now
Our time has run out
An empty facade
Specialised in special lies
Dewy morning light
Still by the water
Yet never in the water
Standing in your way
Silent white egret
My feet got wet since we met
Meanwhile I regret
The surface layer
However hard you stare, you
See only yourself
Under this false gleam
Lurking in the murky stream
A long lost day dream
Run my little one
While the sun still shines on us
And your burden’s light
