CAPTURING A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME OR A VIVID IMAGE WITH MINIMAL WORDS.

MOMENTS

HAIIKU CARDS PART TWO

Some of the moments that stand out in my mind come from quietly reflecting on the daily things that surround me. It’s a habit I practice every day, and sometimes I feel inspired to write it down.

A little bird perched

On a branch, just above my head.

A blink and it's gone.

The drumming rain.

A mighty thunder.

In the darkness of the night,

A symphony.

Above, a round light

In the night.

A howling wolf.

You see it, then it's gone.

You think it, then it's none.

A mind trick.

A grey blanket spreads

Above us all.

The storm approaches.

The grey sky sheds tears 

Of winter's magnitude. 

Peer through window glass,

the water dances.

Our greatest fear is

confronting who we really are.

The more we run,

The bigger it becomes.

Sometimes we feel the urge,

To punch the silence in the face.

To be or not to be...

That was the question

the cat pondered,

while gazing at the latch. 

The daily mud,

Makes us forget

The beauty,

Of the clear water. 

Thank you.
