A new day a new haiku
Dewy mist rises
Saturated earth exhales
Soft inspiration
Turn it upside down
Can you see yourself better?
Has anything changed?
But what is the point
Of poisonous mushroom
Corrupting the world
Down the hollow way
Did I lose myself again?
Pack my things away
Dashed on the rock face
Where black waves wash us ashore
Grow another shell
Turned by waves and tossed
I cling to the bow and hope
Waiting for a voice
Sometimes you’ll give up
Sometimes all hope will leave you
Sometimes there’s no way
How did they get here?
Though I try to build something
Only scattered stones
Lost in sleepy woods
Slumber and fall back asleep
Stumble over words
One thousand spirits
Moving through the Irish sea
We hold on to peace
Why do we build walls
To keep us shut away from
Everything we love?
Here we loom above
Raging roaring rolling waves
Our feet slip away
Open up the box
Let the wild bramblers roam free
Embrace the chaos
Exploring edges
Here all life diversifies
Where does the land end?
Salty sea spray stings
Take away these broken things
Spread my open wings
The voice in your head
Knows something that you don’t yet
Listen carefully
After the rainfall
Has stripped all the branches bare
Sunshine mocking me
Secrets hide inside
Outside resides wide eyed lies
I’d tried to turn tides
Clear rays of nothing
Through translucent chlorophyll
Trapped in this moment
Autumn years take hold
My crown turns from green to gold
My days have been sold
In these reflections
A city of burning eyes
Now I realise
Under the cities
The dirt awaits the day her
Time will come again
When the old dam breaks
When ancient clay bricks crumble
Wash us all away
As the summer leaves
Break down into next year’s soil
We feed on decay
