Home - haiku


our floating first home
close to heart-beat pumping love
our mother’s warm womb

~~~

earnest and zestful
I prepared your homecoming
but your coffin came

~~~

fragile miracle
carrying us from womb to grave
this body our home

~~~

yet freedom at last
unanchored and unfettered
my spirit wings home

~~~

    A sad story told in haiku, very strong emotions bringing tears to my eye.

  7. (I didn't find it sad) - I found your haiku to ring so true. Wonderful expression of our journey to find our home.

    Beautiful!

  8. I found this sad but felt comforted by the last line verse 'my spirit wings home.' It is somehow joyful!

  9. Great disappointment and sorrow in that second one, but also a true reflection of life.
