A new day a new haiku
You are in red leaves
You are in little trees, you
Are in everything
The years fade away
Only memories remain
There’s no going back
So now we’re somehow
Swimming through cyclamen seas
Sublimely saline
Wherever I go
Or when I walk through the past
You are always there
Now I’ve gone to seed
Another invasive weed
Scattered on the breeze
Weeds are just flowers
That are still looking out for
The right place to grow
Floating lost at sea
Though I try to change myself
Some things never change
Deep down in the pit
My yearning churning stomach
I know I’m toxic
Brambles start to rust
And then vanish in a gust
Summer turns to dust
My empty seed head
Dried up beyond usefulness
And falling slowly
Between the raindrops
We wind our wet way upwards
Where will the ends meet?
Roam the countryside
Somewhere my roots can take hold
Where do I belong?
Focus on the good
And the rest will fade away
Time will tell the truth
Flowers always bloom
Even if nobody sees
So don’t hide away
Strains of an old tune
Carry me back through the years
I feel just the same
In the autumn glow
Where the wilder branches grow
Let everything go
As the days fly by
Something is eating at me
Could I be more free?
As time drips away
Seconds to hours to days
There is no present
Into the distance
Between green fields and grey clouds
I’m still holding on
Sometimes good ideas
Don’t survive in the real world
And it’s no one’s fault
Old footprints ploughed up
Straight lines across the landscape
We forge a new path
In the fresh long hope
Of early morning shadows
The new day unfurls
Dark dew on rose hips
A recurring memory
A question answered
A rainy graveyard
Is being here without yew
Worth being at all?
