Haikus

Dark Zendo shadow
An oak branch reaches outward
Scraping the window

A silent watcher
Raven spies the wolves kill
The circle of life

Flour water yeast rises
Winter wheat remains dormant
Today I eat bread

Gnarled stiff digits
Count the rings on the tree stump
None escape aging

Back garden lies still
Spring bulbs awaken slowly
Unbroken promise

A full moon tonight
Winter clouds obscure the view
A rare blue moon month

Falling drops of rain
Collecting in the eave trough
Racing out the spout

A selfless life is
The bee working the hive comb
Next generation lives

Resignation is
Learning not to want what is
Unlearning what is

Elusive dream state
Winter"s white Spring's green
Both colours of hope

Drunken monk staggers
Full moon highlights the footpath
Bed awaits his snore

Haiku writer sits
Nature is indifferent
His needs are simple
