Moments

Moments(Haibun)

 

Without any hint of mercy,

With these cold december winds now upon us.

Underfoot, the crunch of summer’s dry leaves.

A scent of nature, still breaking down…tickles the senses.

These are subtle reminders of the season.

Trees towering above these winding pathways,  are now bare.

Their limbs…naked…stripped, waving…pleading..imploring

as if to the heavens above.

The squirrels playfully dart from tree to tree, across the paths,

stopping only long enough to chatter, playfully tease…entice..call.

 

as if time could freeze

wandering this paradise

(a)gentle surrender

Poetic Fragments

yesterday’s ice

melts into the small runnels

yet somewhere,

the promise

of spring

fallen leaf

blown

onto the path

in the distance

winter’s wrath

Shimmers

Shimmers(Chant Poem)

 

Between the seasons, summer’s influence fades

 

teased by brilliant sunlight

between the seasons, summer’s influence fades

 

soon, both gray skies and a chilling wind will beckon forth

between the seasons, summer’s influence fades

 

gentle breeze over the waves

between the seasons, summer’s influence fades

 

while the frozen seizing of the lands eventually comes

between the seasons, summer’s influence fades

 

fallen leaves in varying hues, burnt orange and brilliant reds

between the seasons, summer’s influence fades

 

spring’s promise has yet to unfold

between the seasons, summer’s influence fading

Aftermath

The Storm Finally Blows Over

Only Leaving Opportunity

to let Winter Back In

Gray Skies, Rolling Clouds

Sinuous Frigid Wind Slice

Winter’s Parting Kiss

Frigid Wind Howling 

Snow Crunched Underfoot, Hours Pass

Moon Hides Behind Clouds

The Emptied Tree

The Emptied Tree

 

Time Escapes

Dulled Whimsies

are

All that Remain.

Lingerings  of

Cold Sensation

But What is Left?

But For

a Plethora

Empty Platitudes

Left to Ring

 

…Ears to Mind

 

Gradually Built

Over Time

To become

a Frenzied Crescendo

 

Alas,

 

For the Rolling of Endless Skies

Of the

Longest

Grayed Season

Matching

Perfectly

A 

Dearth of Empathy

Jagged Cold Winds

Ever Wildly Galloping

Under Canopy

of  

Gray Skies

Readying for

Winter’s Frigid Embrace

As Seasons Change

Such

The Wicked Immediacy

Frailties

Of Turning Colours

of Autumn

Rudely Ushered Out

For Snows and Cold

that

Prepare to Cover

Earth

In Preperation

for

Her Slumber

and

Eventual Renewal

And Promise

Awaiting

Kiss of Spring
