Tanka: Every Step

so sacred
the salt in the air and sea
every step
towards the infinite
a new beginning

Wishing you all a peaceful Thursday,

from the sea
a film of moonlight
we long to know
the spirit of this new day
we have never seen before

a tidal beach with heaps of seaweed in the glow from the rising sun

Wishing you all a magical Tuesday,

Word of the Day Challenge: Uplifting

The retreating sea leaves seaweed glittering in the morning sun. Exposed rocks draped in green shelter us from the wind. Pearl spins around with a playful bark. I open my pocket and throw her the ball. She catches it mid-air, content in a steady canter.

Haibun: Into Peace

two whippets in winter jackets on the beach beside some driftwood

After a cold start the mist rolls back across the water. It’s been quite a night, according to the driftwood. The air seems innocent. In the midst of clouds we see glimpses of those who once walked here with us, their faces turning towards the light.

gentle surf
echoes of a moon passing
into peace
