Moments of Lyric Beauty – A Haibun

Elements of earthly splendour, vast vistas of rolling hills embrace vales and dells and chuckling streams where wildflowers dance in hypnotic breeze. Fresh feel of grass cushioning bare feet, encircled in a ring of trees, no sweeter peace than to simply be.

soft echo of life

around me vibrations flow

ebbing with times breath

Such fragrance of a path well-travelled where senses feast on Natures varied beauty; rainforests tumble down from verdant mountains, to bid farewell to the setting sun… dipping into the cool liquid layers of the ocean. Freewheeling hawks trace pathways in the dimming sky as clouds drift; cumulus shapes draw the eyes to endless plains of fantasy.

day’s fading glory

dreams melt into wistfulness

twilight tickling

Soft glow of day’s ending, parrots chatter, crows-ark ark in solemn echoes; reverberating over treetops, a song of wisdom that sings of days to come, not the one just done. In twilight shadows flames cavort in the hearth, illuminating erotic shadow-dancers, and shades of tomorrow salsa with the moon.

lyric notes rising

time’s unending melody 

floats on the ether
