Haibun: A Moment To Savour

 

two whippets walking along a grassy mound towards a loch

 

It feels good to leave the road and walk through Summer grass. The smells of green and youthful bounce in nature’s carpet lift every step in gratitude. As I look across the loch the trees sway softly in the breeze. I smile at the sun as she wraps her warmth around me. My heart can smell the sea.

waves reflect in blue
from the sky and peace beyond
nature’s temple

  4. Oh, Xenia, such a gentle, lovely haibun and such gorgeous photos! I love those ‘smells of green’ and the ‘youthful bounce in nature’s carpet’. I hope the sun continues to wrap you all in its arms for many weeks to come. 🙂

  8. Thank you for joining in the challenge and creating this beautiful post Xenia. Your haibun gives me a feeling of deep calm. There’s a huge winter storm blowing around down here. It’s lovely to be transported to such an idyllic summer setting for a moment.
