A new day a new haiku
Would I catch the bird
If I could see through your eyes
Would you set it free
Morning fogs the fields
As the frost melts and dew drops
I keep on running
The last flash of light
Burning brilliantly bright
Smeared across the sky
Three hours to cover
The sandscape with rolling waves
Three hours to wonder
What subtle idols
Hide underneath gnarled tree roots
And turn their leaves gold?
Where the waters meet
The strange ways of human hearts
Everscending thoughts
Catch the last sun drops
Squozen from November skies
Keep them safe and dry
Back into the grey
Searching for your dying ray
Fly another day
Branches intertwine
Last year’s leaves corrode and die
Back to sleepy times
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
