A new day a new haiku
Clouds cast a shadow
Over who I thought I was
I try to see good
A match to tinder
And the sky catches alight
As I turn westward
Only now I know
Lift me up from down below
I will take it slow
Slowly we amble
Meander the river banks
Wander in wonder
The long sun lies down
Low across the fading dale
And calling us home
Even reflected
The sunset burns with beauty
Exceeding our own
Turn to face the sun
Brisk evening light glows stronger
Longer shadows grow
What’s left to explore?
The inner faults of my mind
Heading ever West
Failure, the father
Of success. Yet how often
Failure is childless
The sun’s daily death
A reminder of our own
Yet full of beauty
This light has travelled
Ninety three million miles
In just eight minutes
You may never know
Which journey will be your last
Brambles overgrow
