A new day a new haiku
On the dullest days
Just a sliver of sunlight
Is better than none
Heading further south
In search of warmer homelands
Flying side by side
Take a look backwards
As the sun begins to set
Ask how have you grown
Dusky indiglow
Hanging in the twinight air
Silver silhouette
Etched in long black lines
The shape of our fathers’ fields
Below mice burrow
Above winter fields
Spiralling circles billow
Rippling furrows
Follow the bright lights
To the centre of the earth
Where darkest thoughts hide
Craggy dark edges
Cut through the cloudy skyline
Above and below
Gently we collide
Feelings fade into grey haze
As the dust settles
The distant mountains
Still tower above our heads
Yet we forget them
A heart in pieces
Held together by it’s friends
Merging into one
I could drift away
Though the hazy city lights
And lose myself there
Nothing you can own
And nothing you can achieve
Compares to people
Warm sun and cold air
Be grateful for each moment
Perfectly unique
Even as one year falls
Deep beneath the loamy earth
Another rises
Crepuscular horns
Arise from behind the copse
I remember spring
Long light lays lower
Gliding on the gilded lake
I sink with the sun
What once was is gone
Now we’re in an empty shell
How can I move on?
Small hands and short arms
Stretching out towards the sun
Don’t let them pass by
Rosy autumn glow
Though one day worms devour
Still clinging in hope
From the other side
I saw my life in reverse
Slowly unravel
Put your cares aside
Clouds smeared on a hollow sky
Lifting up my eye
As we fade away
From green to golden to grey
The rest hibernate
Just one final flush
Before we return to dirt
Was this our best work?
