A Journal of Thoughts from Last Week (A Haibun)

The U in Us

The sound of lambs still echo behind me, and there I stood on this summer-ripe day, the sea calm as a comfortable marriage, blue sky holding the sun like a great bell under a hollow sky, clang-banging a cure for man-made undertows shaking the world. And my pale heart opened wide to its restless tide, and bright-eyed morning.

The sun rarely shines
Clouds are drifting memories
Of time stolen for me
