A haiku distills thinking and I have been writing a good deal recently. Largely as part of Twitter engagement (@lauraelizahay). Here is my Haiku Cascade!

Don’t try to solve life
Probing makes it elusive
Like sand through fingers

“Will I be okay?”
The prayer of all who suffer
If resolve nurtured…

Torpor overtakes
Enveloped in down’s soft warmth
Sleep submerges mind

Slipped into the night
Freedom from glib exclusive
Found the kind and wise

Eventide’s light plays
Dancing through canopy’s boughs
I sigh lost in dreams

Do try for the light
End slumbering in darkness
World waits for your sight

Signs of spring
Life’s grace returning
Warm wind blows

Expect doubt
Life’s harsh leveller
Ego’s foe

In days aftermath
To myself I am unkind
To the achieved blind

To be a hermit
Deep in the woods, riverside
Only lost can find

A community
Of photo-synthesisers
Capturing the light

Like a mountain lake
Clearer, direction once was
Now muddy puddle!

Encouragement is
The act of lending courage
To the fearful heart.
Prophet Hicks was right
Human life’s machinations
Are all ‘just a ride’

Phew if you made it here you have serious commitment!
Thank you.
