Here is my latest collection of haiku along with the photos that inspired the words. I hope you will enjoy.
After the fire
Shades of contemplative blue
Are all that remain.
I climbed over rocks
Lost in distant worlds of thought
Where the river bends.
Clouds and memories
Reflections in pale water
A moment captured.
Reflections in pale water
A moment captured.
Nestled in the bay
Waiting for the tide to turn
Sleepy twilight boats.
Waiting for the tide to turn
Sleepy twilight boats.
Whenever I see
Sunbeams dancing towards me
I know you are near.
Sunbeams dancing towards me
I know you are near.
I will always wait
For as long as it takes to
Watch the setting sun.
For as long as it takes to
Watch the setting sun.
Tell me your story
When the sun sets on the beach
And I will listen.
Waiting on the beach
For the next thundering wave
To crash in my head.
Nestled in the grass
A web of tiny mirrors
Remnants of the downpour.
A web of tiny mirrors
Remnants of the downpour.
Ethereal clouds
Float into my subconscious
Pure cotton-soft dreams.
Searching for solace
And lasting silver moments
Down by the river.
And lasting silver moments
Down by the river.
From the riverbank
The sound of distant birdsong
Echoes in the breeze.
Whispers in the breeze
As the daylight slowly fades
Into soft blue mist.
Slumbering marshland
You look even more peaceful
When the sun goes down.
You look even more peaceful
When the sun goes down.
