Haiku about how life can sometimes feel overwhelming
#ABusy #Cycle #Decision #FullHaikuLife #MoonMoon #Schedule
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
A stone for a head A dauntingly fragile nose Sudden convulsions To lay my head down in peace My vestigial heart begs
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
To puddle one’s words Few are willing to admit Myself least of all To fall and land upon earth Closer to Earth than before?
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
