A new day a new haiku
Deep underwater
Tired eyes glazing over
And drifting away
Dead leaves in the dirt
Bare oak trees and twisted roots
Hello my old friends
Sunlight on cold lakes
Dividing shadow from shade
Black swan reflections
One perfect beauty
Beauty in imperfection
Has unending forms
Through the long cold nights
Attending to every need
No longer a child
Thin smoke still rises
Hanging in the cold night air
Yesterday’s ashes
Hi rock, meet hard place
Still making us pay the price
For your own mistakes
A shattered daydream
The pain of losing something
That we never had
Dry brown leaves swept up
By the wind left in your wake
Then crushed and broken
Try to imagine
The distance between each star
All problems dissolve
A smoke haze ripples
The surface of dusky lakes
Sets the night on fire
Darkness encroaches
Shadows loom, pupils dilate
It’s the witching hour
As the curtains draw
Across the golden sunset
Another day ends
In a living dream
If you never really sleep
Can you ever wake?
Draining away in
Suspended animation
And only the dregs
Dreary rainy day
Grey and dull and beautiful
So soon forgotten
The long shadows fall
Dragging us into winter
I swim between dreams
A half life decay
Another day melts away
Tides wash me again
Faded autumn shades
Pulling me out of myself
I stumble and fall
Layers on layers
Covering all our mistakes
A fresh coat of pain
Two peas in a pod
Train tracks converge and entwine
Meet your reflection
Lost in the thick fog
Between awake and asleep
Words no longer come
Shrouded in ivy
Escape to another world
Secret fairy doors
Purple twilight glow
When words fail, what is left but
The very last drop
