Cragside Haiku V
Flattened nettle leaf
against wire fence, shadow-veined;
changed with each cloud pass.
Flattened nettle leaf
against wire fence, shadow-veined;
changed with each cloud pass.
Wanting to speak truth
to the hillsides and forests
I feel overwhelmed.
Thinking of people
like you being close to me
helps me feel hopeful.
Time passes slowly
and almost nothing changes
while all is renewed.
