A new day a new haiku
Never ending day
Fades out in the horizon
Moving ever West
We will sing at dawn
With the birds, all the long day
And with the night jar
A solo mission
Focussed flight with fears to fight
Yet over too soon
In the long green grass
Longing for greener fields and
Longer days to stay
Tangled ivy twines
Stories tumble down brick walls
Tell me tomorrow
We rise from the dirt
Tangled in our own conceit
Let the brambles win
Questions create doubts
Questions threaten, questions hurt
Why do I ask them?
Where’s the line between
Construction and destruction?
Progress or decline?
Upon dusty wings
Fragmented photons falling
Behind your dark eyes
I simply can’t stay
In one place long, I must be
Always moving on
Let it go, drop it
Give it up, put it to bed
Give in, put it down
When the blade is sharp
And the grass is damp with dew
Mowing is living
Whatever you make
Make memories, take it slow
Whatever you take
Your rosy red cheeks
Ripening in the sunshine
We don’t know ourselves
Our thoughts can transcend
Everyday mundanity
If we look beyond
This picture could be
From a thousand years ago
But for the people
Calico clouds cry
A fine mist in the moonlight
Why do we ask why?
If a life has
No responsibilities
Can it have purpose?
Would you want to live
If every day was the same?
For how much longer?
As a beating heart
This life newly emerging
Shines through your soft skin
Open up your eyes
While we are alive. Don’t think
This moment is right
From Staffordshire clay
These simple fired tiles
Keep us dry again
Happy golden days
Arise as memories fade
A phoenix from flames
Balmy summer nights
Roses arose in surprise
They were pretty wild
