Haiku For a

Gloomy Day By: JosĂŠ V. Guerra Awe


For Alana

My Shining Star


Beneath clouded sky | a stagnant river shimmers | for a peeking moon


A candle's flicker | dies by gust from puckered lips | Flame is soon relit


A tree without leaves | trembles in cold of winter | Spring will soon return


Even a whirlpool | has potential to become | crashing whitecap


Leaves bust through strands | Intricate web collapses | 'tis time to rebuild


Even bone prison | cannot suppress a throbbing | heart's resounding beats


When water stands still | eyes can deeply contemplate | the nature of their being


Death is overcome | Hermitage abandoned | Dragonfly emerges


“even though my wandering eyes

hunger for the coast, I'm content to be adrift” - José V. Guerra Awe
