the river mourns (troibun)

 


She gifted me on her very own birthday! Giving me a perfect day, sunshine and precious company, what better way to end it with this new tradition…

by the rapids
beating to a yearning heart
the river roars

by the rapids
waves pouring stories
dancing eagerly

beating to a yearning heart
embracing and comforting
Mother Nature knows

the river roars
rumbling outbursts
calming release

Snow banks
adourning boulevards
after the snowstorm

snow banks
stretching to eternity
one giant wall

adourning boulevards
clean cut lines
understated chic

after the snowstorm
same redundant roar
all day long

(Troiku)

Hope mixed with despair
from my bedroom window
dreams beneath the snow

hope mixed with despair
buried under heavy layers
winter laughs at me

from my bedroom window
lull of rumbling snow ploughs
drifting off to sleep

dreams beneath the snow
fleeting thoughts of blossoms
tulips pierce the snow

butterfly moment (troiku – haiga)

butterfly-moment

(troiku)

sometimes I wish
I was a butterfly
one brief moment

sometimes I wish
one heartfelt scene
and, time would stop

I was a butterfly
one sweet moment
forever prised

one brief moment
bliss
seals the heart

wish I could vanish
while migraine tiptoes away
thumps above my head

thumps above my head
children
know not better

when storms abate
inside my head
embracing moments

embracing moments
hearts beating
my friend and I

Daily Moments Oct 16/16 – Sunday’s Best (Haibun)

Sunday stroll by the river just before sunset.  She walks along the park alone;  summer lovers have deserted their summer nest and still, she feels a tingle of life, romance and sheer beauty in the air.
