A new day a new haiku
Does the rain chase you?
Or are you following it?
Follow the sunshine
A snowy clearing
Remember what was here first
A distant echo
The relentless hum
Millions of lives being lived
Restless busy buzz
Apertures agape
Beside the blackthorn blossom
Creatures cast their clouts
A glimmer of hope
Another season has sprung
A new moon rises
Fuzzy evening light
Illuminates new catkins
In a final glow
Open up my eyes
Today and only today
Once I have been here
Roaming no man’s land
Dribs and drabs and cut off scraps
Enclosed in our homes
Flat iron needles
Fold me into sharp creases
I see white fields
Between evening fog
And deserted railway lines
Next year’s trees spring up
Wandering again
On another adventure
Into the sunset
Low smoky clouds lie
Fine lines on the horizon
Fade into the night
Sundered in two halves
Divided and torn apart
Ripped into pieces
The howling wind blows
Biting, bitter and burning
To my very bones
A windswept tundra
An opening in the sky
A fresh perspective
The road doesn’t move
Yet it is ever changing
There is no now here
Did life pass us by
Run away from us again
While we were waiting?
Steadily she glides
Twists and turns in the thermals
A kite flying high
Sunset particles
Unfurl across still waters
Bind us together
In each dew droplet
The light of a thousand suns
Rolled across the sky
Distant dying sun
We bask in your gold glory
Your old light, still warm
Treacherous thunder
Turns toward turbulent tides
Threatening torrents
Amazing jungle
Battle baffling brambles
A long way from home
To this English Oak
Older than fields and houses
Our lives look so short
