Haibun: Water Of Life

Even at our sheltered shore the waves are rolling high in Autumn winds. New curves are carved in the sand and a slice of beach lies more than a foot below from where we ran all through September. We love the sound of water. The spurts and bubbles sizzle in a primal rhythm that makes us feel at home. When salt from the sea becomes one with the air we taste new freedoms.

invigorate October

  3. Cold Front low of River rise distant close
    Rainbow Colored Crabs on stones of shore
    Never Seen Magic without Northern Winds..
    sMiLes my friEnd
    aGaiN.. Xenia..
    Memories of
    College Days
    College Building
    atop a hill just up a road
    a walk from our River home..
    respite from lecture books in
    eyes of young man too poor to
    buy fries at Burger King.. the smell
    of eggs cooked by Grandmother’s Love
    too formal for her name was Mama Wese
    short and long as a servant of Love named Louise..
    how fortunate
    am i with a memory
    of smell and the reality of Love
    Colored Rainbow Crabs of MoRE NoW..
    it’s True.. Living Water of Love
    never dies when real within..
    NoW i find it incredibly joyful
    and incredibly sad for me then
    at least as i could not be Truly
    Happy until older age Youth..
    except when i was
    five and under
    before work
    and school came after as prisons
    to take life away from me.. Golden
    Age now forevernow appreciated as
    Life MoRE alWays NoW HoME aGaiN..:)
