The nut cracker - haiku

sparrows cheep 

cheep cheep me awake

into a dreamworld

of mirages
I, an unwilling
participant

carrying

a body so burdensome

so burdensome

the desiring mind

transfixed by illusions

of its own making

yet, something waits

to be found, for the shell

to be cracked open

the other me

beckons with a nut-cracker

called silence

~~~

The wealthiest place in the world

The video says it all -

Befriending silence - tanka

your endless talk

on festers of loneliness

are but band-aids

come, let us befriend silence

the fullness of nothingness

~~~

Walk in the forest - tanka

 

walk in the forest

tan columns and green walls

cathedral of calm

from among the rustling trees

I pick seeds of silence

~~~
