Tiger Mountain Haiku
Tiger Mountain Haiku
I
A speechless stranger
accepted a cold water
lazy on Spring’s path
Once Heaven’s river
drowned its banks now flooded land
joy spread from above
Children gather here
to play beyond domestic
ways into the depths
Nectar of flower
in shy streams of morning light
a kiss for a smile
Spirit of season
shares color, sounds, and odors
person sits alone
Unbroken rhythm
keep steps of restless music
falls endless cascades
An ocean of life
hidden honey parting word
a formless playhouse
II
Poignant song echoes
sky of many colored tears
when dreams break their form
Eager evening air
fills with sad music of dusk
unknown man plays lute
Solitude of sky
turns out to be true meaning
of a well read poem
Light of star grew dark
a snapped golden string of harp
the silence of night
Emptiness to art
gilded with golden wonder
float on wanton wind
Greive idle lost days
when there is no time to lose
hidden in the heart
Filled with sudden sight
eyes bent upon the world’s feet
under silent stars
III
October lyric
deep rustle of leaves in dark
suffering and joy
We fear departures
already miss your presence
a hole filled with pain
My southern home small
at once lost never regained
canopy of time
World requires silence
to lay down words and sing
listen to nothing
Vintage Autumn days
memories of summer night
these careless treasures
Thoughts that long for pass
to collect careless treasures
possess the overlooked
Songs taught me lessons
they show all the secret paths
horizon of my heart
