A new day a new haiku
If all the stars shone
As bright as the sun, we would
Never see the moon
Echoing calls fade
Absorbed by billowing grass
Were we really here?
Are you still watching
With childish fascination
As the sun descends?
We left all our years
A gleaming reflection of
The years we have left
The castle still stands
How many suns have settled
Behind it’s towers?
As the heat recedes
We are drawn towards the lake
A quiet ending
Scarred silver skies shine
Sinking sunlight steels my mind
Set my sights to sea
Daylight slips away
Shadows crawl over the fields
Every trouble fades
The last light escapes
Don’t let the days run away
Silver skies turn grey
Where does the sun go
When it falls into the ground
Does it make a sound?
Grey gives way to gold
Gilded grasses glisten, glow
In graceful graphite
Between bent branches
I finally found myself
Under glowing skies
