02/22/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

Hanging upside down
Teaching her baby how to
Do a belly roll

Blast from the Past:

Maybe the fish sing
Symphonies under the water
That we cannot hear

Chill under a tree
Sitting and cracking open
A nice coconut

(The sun bear I saw today had the right idea for how to spend a rainy day here in the Bornean rainforest.)

Blast from the Past:

Retreat from the noise
Of a cluttered world crammed in
A barrel of greed

The peaks emerge from
Their veil in the clouds as if
To say, “Peek-A-Boo!”

Blast from the Past:

For each mountain I climb
There is always another
Mountain behind it

Each time we breathe in
It is a gift that grounds us
Back into the earth

Blast from the Past:

It’s strange how easy
It is to lose our ground for
Everything we have

The dog howls upwards
Hoping its cry will make the
Thunder go away

Blast from the Past:

From their rich singing,
You’d never know cicadas
Are about to die

What beauty is left
By the scorching sun
After the dew fades?

Blast from the Past:

The sea, singing the
Elegy of exodus,
Surrendered us up

Stuck home in the rain
While my heart roams free, yearning
For an adventure

Blast from the Past:

No one noticed how
The stone would dream
Of the sun.

What comes of the day
With morning’s quiet passing?
After the dew fades.

Blast from the Past:

As long as it’s here
As long as it’s here at last,
I will be happy

What questions persist,
What keeps you going
After the dew fades

Blast from the Past:

Because I did nothing,
Because I did too much,
Because I did not intervene enough,
Because I interjected too much,
I am leaving your because

New day, new motions,
The same cycle of the sun
After the dew fades

Blast from the Past:

Why do we go through
The motions of living if
The results the same?
