A new day a new haiku
From the other side
I saw my life in reverse
Slowly unravel
Turn it upside down
Can you see yourself better?
Has anything changed?
Crane flies skip across
Glossy surface tension and
Hazy lake mistakes
How soon I forget
To look beyond my own stance
So hopelessly flawed
To be a mirror
Or just a dim reflection
Would be so easy
Wanderers don’t rest
Adventurers leave the nest
An unending quest
If we are children
We are only reflections
Of somebody else
Standing in the shade
What are we trying to save?
Will anything change?
Dawn divides darkness
Am I the lies underneath
Or the breaking sky?
Once I was alive
Now we live in photographs
Vicariously
World turned upside down
After the hurricane ends
We’ll be in blue skies
Every day we live
With someone else’s choices
Help out future you
Wherever we look
We can never see ourselves
Just a reflection
Only bright stars fade
Only the lost can be found
Only triers fail
Drag me deeper down
Deep into the black abyss
Where our fears reside
The surface layer
However hard you stare, you
See only yourself
The shadow below
Is just a dim reflection
Of the light above
