Harbour Moon

harbour moon
the loneliness of fishermen
under lighthouse cliff
                                                                 ( Joe of Flat Frog Haiku )

in the yawning darkness
the wind suddenly changes
(WS)

rustling leaves dancing
light breeze brushing rosy cheeks
young hearts aflutter

frost greeting sunlight

gathering seashells
while ocean tide rise and falls
two sisters bicker

a million empty conches
and they both want the same one                      (WS)

resound into the present
a dream of the sea

calling the clouds back to earth

nodding off, side by side
they dream of sailing away                                           (Wabi Sabi)

showing her fawn how to forage                                    (WS)

old beacon
hailing all strangers –
mind the land
the adventure ends abruptly
two sailors running aground

filling the inner soul                               (Carol)

crickets play a moonlight song
lulling wild hearts to sleep                             (WS)
