Scaling heights

Aims hiker for peak
in a solitary climb
as peak to the sky

Live, learn, pass it on

As honoured authors
storytellers are readers
handing down loved books

Insides hallowed out
as dent in a volcano
barren, you left me

I’m travelling for work, and so for the next few days, I’ll be posting haikus from places I stumble on.

Peering through darkness
as the eye of a tiger
observant, the moon

“Come hither!”
She beckons,
arms wide, lips curling
twisting, my soul with it.

Thunder echoes,
whispering hope in ears
rustling as autumn leaves
brushing against
my callous frame.

Worn by weather,
marred by wear,
my eyelids droop—
crinkles catch up,
I let go.

She bundles me—
warm scoop and ice cream,
melts the cold away,
carries me home.
