The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.
The wind calls me to be free
The water sustains my life
The clouds give me imagination
And the mountains beckon me to come,
If only I listen to nature that surrounds me
Context (if you’re interested):
It’s based on a poem at an art exhibit. I believe it was in Mongolia, but it may have been in China.
The moon hang brightly
As the travelers think of
Their far away homes
Context (if you’re interested):
This was based on “The Moon at the Fortified Pass” by Li Bai but also on a recent trip back home I took, the first time I’ve been in the US in two years.
I’m in my hotel
Contemplating not doing
Anything today.
Context (if you’re interested):
This last week has been so exhausting. Sometimes you just need a break.
We saw each other everyday
I was there under your wing.
And yet here we meet again.
Your body has aged
By the seasons of time
Context (if you’re interested):
This is about a similar theme as my poem for yesterday.
Time seems to change most people
And maybe the most difficult to understand
It changes me too
Context (if you’re interested):
This is about a recent family gathering where I saw many family members for the first time in many years.
