Nature

A post for;  ABC Wednesday - H for Haiku, and Sensational Haiku Wednesday - nature.

at the water's edge

watching undulating waves

holding me spellbound

the gentle rhythm
lulling my senses softly

my gaze holds steady

looking out beyond

a memory for keeping

nourishes my soul

Illusion

coming up for air

the ghosts living in my mind

i shallow breathe them

memories exhaled

mere remnants of what once was

just an illusion

i'm not who you knew

you would not recognize me

hidden in shadows

Silhouette

Haiku #1 "Twilight"

‘tis now the gloaming

branches stand in silhouette

sombre fears embraced

Haiku #2 "MS"
synapse signals cut
lurking in shadowed contours
the beast stalks it’s prey
