A new day a new haiku
Rummage in the leaves
For hazel, beech and chestnuts
That the squirrels missed
I lost myself there
Falling, floating, flying off
In the deepest blue
In this wilderness
Dormant seeds lie expectant
But will they flourish?
Round brown found tears
Falling down around my ears
Resound loud and clear
Green fields of England
Pinned together with hawthorn
My final blanket
The lava red road
Leads me ever nearer home
East and west I go
And now we go home
Leave behind our shadow lives
Go back to our phones
I wanted freedom
You can’t stop me screaming now
Our time has run out
An empty facade
Specialised in special lies
Dewy morning light
Still by the water
Yet never in the water
Standing in your way
Silent white egret
My feet got wet since we met
Meanwhile I regret
The surface layer
However hard you stare, you
See only yourself
Under this false gleam
Lurking in the murky stream
A long lost day dream
Run my little one
While the sun still shines on us
And your burden’s light
Hidden wilderness
Even here the planes invade
To take me away
Leaves drop, seed scatters
Fruit falls and begins to rot
I too let it go
Willow and hawthorn
Break through abandoned grassland
They will out live me
Long autumn shadows
Fall between us and the blue
And what’s underneath
Get up from your desk
Wring out the last summer drops
Retreat to your nest
Burnished copper crown
You set the skyline alight
Bring me to my knees
How soon we forget
Those endless summer evenings
In the everyday
Damp, dull, drizzly days,
Dreary, dismal, desolate
Downcast, dingy, drab
Late autumn sunshine
Turns the hedgerow slowly brown
Falling fast and free
You are the darkness
Hanging in the golden air
You are the voices
