Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is a photo prompt!  Ironically, I used the same picture in a poem I wrote this past Monday, titled, “My Own Little Space“. Colleen challenged me to write a Haiku based on the same photo, to see where else the prompt might take me.  So, here is my Haiku!

 


Morning sun wakens

Many feathered creatures fly

Among orange clouds

Above the valley

Clouds gently touch mountain peaks;

Nature’s majesty

Overwhelmed by simple tasks
What is this I have become?
Sadness, behind my smiling mask
Truth is… I am feeling numb

Emotional, at the slightest change
Tears flow, and for no reason
Even to myself, I feel quite strange
Perhaps, it is that time of season

Where leaves once painted the trees
Now they lay, lifeless and brown
I watched them whirl, in the breeze
On their way, swiftly, falling down

I can relate to the leaves, you see
I’ve spiraled with them, for so long
Much like a twister, roaming free
Yet, unknowing if I truly belong

I carved myself a window

Chiseled away the hardened earth

Just in time to catch the light

Of a fiery sun’s rebirth

Orange painted clouds rejoiced

As the rays chased away the night

Flocks of feathered creatures

Took off, on a journey, aflight

As for me, I sat in awe and wonder

Watching, as day took its place

And colored my eyes with majesty

All this, through my own little space

I
Am one.
A simple
Yet complex root.
With new beginnings,
I plant my feet, and grow.
The mighty earth, under me
Nourishes my very being,
Nurturing my heart, however brief;
Until the moment I breathe my last breath
And I become one with the earth, again
Mixed in the soil, of a thousand years
Below the ground, where I once stood
Strong, and unwavering, though
At times, I would quiver
Much like leaves, in spring
Wishing for life
To return
Within
Me
