A new day a new haiku
Every step a print
Every stone makes a ripple
Every boat a wake
Let me follow you
Around the lake. Help me to see
The world with new eyes
One day all must fall
Released to the stoney ground
Finally we’re free
In a hazy shroud
Defeated and deflated
Can I carry on?
Below the surface
Hidden from these prying eyes
Perennial pride
Would you want to live
If every day was the same?
For how much longer?
Water boatmen dart
Across the ripples and gusts
We left in our wake
Twisted branches stoop
Reaching out across the lake
In idle chit chat
How soon we are gone
And what could we leave behind
That will out live us?
Weight me down, way down
Anchors hold me hard and fast
Deep down in the lake
Wherever we look
We can never see ourselves
Just a reflection
Out of the forest
Captured by concrete castles
Darkening the lake
Around foggy lochs
Through misty mountain passes
We wend our way north
Early morning breeze
Plays lightly on the surface
Jump into the pool
Steadily she glides
Twists and turns in the thermals
A kite flying high
Sunset particles
Unfurl across still waters
Bind us together
Goning on a walk
Birds glid and glode by the lake
We fellund right in
Distant teal tree lines
In the winter our world fades
Smoky bonfires rise
The surface layer
However hard you stare, you
See only yourself
The shadow below
Is just a dim reflection
Of the light above
