Ekphrastic Haiku: Growing into Being

flowing into breathing
is growing into being
trees rooted in rocks

misty valleys above
homes huddling below
crossing twixt here and there

diving into the deep…
no need
to come up grasping
for air

deep down in the earth
high in the heavens
intertwined jungle days and nights
swirling past and future visions
dark enfolds the light

hear my ancient call
from mists beyond the hermit’s cell
see the rising dawn
we who gaze with bated breath
journeying from one to all

man in the moment
ruler of all he surveys
casting long shadows…

the passions and delights
of young ladies
stroking the earth with their feet
nourish our world

the fallen
lying at the feet
of marching ancestors

sunbeam messengers
light-ly caressing
feathery faeries…

gossamer thin she walks like willow
gitter sweet church bells sing out Sunday
our times are fading from memory
