Haiku about friends
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light
Twilight slides in quietly as birds fly to warm nests. Pink hues of evening reflect in the clouds. Soon the moon
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
When I grow really old I may have to do yoga Full time, to get out The aches and creaks. When I grow really old
The many places I have been And countless faces I have seen, The many tales to be told, Into the universe, they unfold. It’s all a passing show,
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
Unable to be all things For all people, Perhaps at one time, I tried. Those days are
One lit candle burns brightly As I make a wish upon it’s Golden aura, that Humankind May learn to caress the earth As the wind does a field of flower…
