12/11/24 Haiku for the Day

Personal impacts
Are fleeting wrinkles like a
Ripple in water

Blast from the Past:

Removal from drive
Comes with the removal of
Want and connection

A hummingbird drinks
From a spring flower as the
Mountains crests behind

A Blast from the Past:

Ferns with leaves so large
I could wrap it around my
Hip like a garment,
From where do you get so much water?

We are the jagged trees
Leafless, slithering from the wind
Who survive this wasteland

Blast from the Past:

The trees let go
Of their leaves and bear the cold
To now grow anew.

On the boat charging
Onwards into that great darkness
From which only the crew knows where it leads

Blast from the past:

Unfathomed darkness
Sliding in, circling around
Where will this take me?

From where does so much
Water come to remake
Everflowing stream?

Blast from the Past:

I’m walking along
The stream, letting its water
Become my thinking

What is possible
Beyond civilization
And its formations?

Blast from the Past:

Shadows of empire.
Prophecy! Deliverance!
Shaking the system

I reach an abyss
I can’t see, filled with joy that
I’m afraid to see.

Blast from the Past:

Clinging to my sails
Or casting myself into
The unfathomed depths

The skull of a horse
As the painter’s brush returns
To the desert sand

Blast from the Past:

The desolate beauty
Of the sagebrush sea, rolling
Over the sand dunes

Among sparks and clouds
Lies a growing stone, a book
Teaching fallen secrets

Blast from the Past:

Entering ritual
Waves. Flames became my water,
Quenched by its fierce thirst.

I left my country
Where political storms rage,
Seeking new stories

Blast from the Past:

As clouds slowly eat the retreating sun,
I lay on the summer grass.
My eyes clothes to this tumultuous world
For just a little while
