waking to
the pond's song...
a lotus
_______________
narrow path...
following a monarch
butterfly
_______________
first light…
emptying a seashell
of shadows
_______________
pilgrim's chant-
slowly, the lotus unfold
their petals
_______________
Shikoku temples-
a pilgrim and his shadow
follow the light

Beautifully written. You certainly capture many a moment whilst your subjects can still roam free. Excellent. Kind regards. . Ralph
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your Haiku. I particularly loved this one, "first light…emptying a seashell
ReplyDeleteof shadows". I could just see the morning light rising above the horizon and the sea shell sitting on the sand "facing the light" of the sun. I thought of how we all should do that in our spiritual lives, "Turn around and face the light", the earlier the better to chase away the shadows. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
Love, Charlene
