Haiku Every Day

A haiku made here, / a daily ritual done, / for over four year. /

[haiku-every-day]

An oft reused line, /

as false the first as the fifth, /

yet it endures still. /

[haiku-every-day]

Mistakes and attempts, /

trying and trying again, /

yet never just right. /

[haiku-every-day]

A voice a whisper, /

“welcome to eternity”, /

with the source, unseen. /

[haiku-every-day]

As the dawn sets down, /

or wait, is this the twilight? /

where on when is it? /

[haiku-every-day]

And with a deep breath, /

the journey onward begins, /

where shall it’s end be? /

[haiku-every-day]

As the wind whistles, /

and the trees shiver and shake, /

the world is quite dead. /

[haiku-every-day]

The stars are still there, /

although they cannot be seen, /

they’re always right there. /

[haiku-every-day]

With a jump, a leap, /

I find myself somewhere new, /

and yet, it is home. /

[haiku-every-day]

Filled with shameful wrath, /

a simple mistake to do, /

unacceptable. /

[haiku-every-day]

With a hateful glare, /

I stare up at the rain clouds, /

and swear my revenge. /

[haiku-every-day]

The harsh winter light, /

oh how I desire thee, /

over what now is. /

[haiku-every-day]

As the light leaves me, /

I find I am sinking down, /

without any hope. /

[haiku-every-day]

As the sun beats down, /

I turn my have to meet it, /

and warmth fills my face. /

[haiku-every-day]

In the depths of night, /

I can hear my heartbeat thrum, /

deep, slow, and constant. /

[haiku-every-day]

What was once busy, /

is now empty, deserted, /

and I wonder, why? /

[haiku-every-day]

The orange candle, /

flickering orange beauty, /

soft yet burning hot. /

[haiku-every-day]

A sound I can feel, /

resonant with my body, /

and with my own mind. /
