breathless light struggles —
long shadows arrive early
in the day’s passing

I feel like I’ve been writing around the edges recently. Circling around words that need to be expressed but aren’t ready to be committed. My notebook is littered with opening lines and untitled strings of paragraphs that don’t quite go together. This haiku managed to emerge complete, perhaps a part of circling inward. It is, in any event, one step next to another step, and what this moment holds.

It is the eternal ephemeral moment. Impressive in it’s own right, as is the manner in which you have captured it in passing.
Thank you, Brad, for visiting, and taking the time to comment – I love the way you have described it. Be well~
Just wanted to thank you for commenting on my blog. Your kind words are much appreciated! I’m glad you left a comment so I could find your blog as well… It’s lovely. I’ll be back as soon as I can make it. My mom’s in hospital so I’m there the large majority of my time.. 😀
Thank you for visiting and for reading as well, I enjoyed my visit to your blog. Blessings to you and your mother ~
I thought your Ku was very apropos and well put. Thanks for your sharing. Warm Wishes, Tasha
Thank you, Tasha, always wonderful to hear your thoughts. Be well~
I also have a notebook of jottings – partial pieces of reflections untied…I return to them again and again until one wants to be finished. That is how it is 🙂
Indeed. I often jot a feeling or a mood that needs to wait for the matching event to arise. And then, still sometimes, not ready… Be well.
A lovely haiku.
Your notebook sounds a lot like mine these days.
Thank you, Chris. It can be quiet stubborn sometimes. I’m trying to be more patient with it… Be well.
Extactly! Whatever this moment holds.
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment, Sally. Whatever it holds indeed, even when that is an inability to hold… Be well~
This is a lovely haiku – with wabi-sabi melancholy, and I love the title of your blog ‘The Buddha’s footprints in an everyday life’. That’s what it’s all about!
Thank you so much for reading and taking the time for the thoughtful comment. Every so often I feel like I should be writing something bursting with joy, but it is typically much more the wabi-sabi that emerges. And so I hope to express it well. Thank you again, blessings & be well~
