Time is now, for enjoying the simple wonders of life. Today, I woke up not feeling well. I'm not sure if it's something I ate, yesterday, causing me havoc. Sleeping on the couch, I drift into another realm of now. I find myself in a green meadow bursting with wildflowers. A shaman comes out to greet me. He says not a word but, hands me a pouch of special herbs. I hear the sound of a babbling brook and travel by foot down a winding path. Beyond towering trees the sun dances upon the singing waters.
I behold a Merlin perched on a high tree limb. Have I wandered into an enchanted forest? Weary, I sit on the foundation of an ancient pine, resting my head against the trunk. I close my eyes. The sun now slipping away and the moon rising. I hear a distance voice and open my eyes. I am back on my couch and the weatherman is talking about the super "pink" moon. Mentally, I take note, to be sure to view it before I go to bed tonight.

Our task:
Let us now bear witness to the present moment! However you experience it, write a haibun that expresses the present moment.
Author's note: Today, I wasn't feeling well and in the moment drifted into a dream.
Happy moon viewing
ReplyDeleteMuch💛love
Thanks Gillena, the viewing was amazing.
DeleteThat "pink moon" seems to fit well with the dream magician. :)
ReplyDeleteThat it did, synchronicity in life.
DeleteYou travel so beautifully and wonderfully in your dreams. Sigh. Hope the special herbs in the dream made you feel better in your awake reality.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend, my dreams are often vivid. I did make myself some herbal tea when I awoke.
DeleteA very nice haibun Trudessa. Dreams sometimes take us good places. In my case they often leave me waking up confused! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dwight, dreams to me are enlightening but, sometimes I am not thrilled with what I see.
DeleteI don’t know if we get Merlins here; I would love to see that impressive bird in my garden!
ReplyDeleteI ,sometimes, see Falcons around here but, usually it is the hawk that comes to call.
DeleteThe magic of a spring evening is hard to capture, but you have it here. Brief as a dream. Well-done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, brief as a dream.
DeleteThe interweaving of the here and now and the forever of the dream world is beautifully handled, the haiku sums it all up wonderfully. Thank you for a fantastic read
ReplyDeleteLove how you used a dream to portray the present, well done. Our moon was spectacular last night, more of the same tonight. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, I was dreaming in the present moment and I decided to share pieces of that moment.
DeleteI did see the pink moon last night and it was glorious. I hope to see it again tonight.
Thanks for visiting. Cheers...
Introducing the dream into the present moment was nicely done. Even the pink moon had a part in your moment!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev, I hope to see the moon again tonight!
DeleteI love how you could describe your dream... it seems so filled with meaning.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bjorn, I do think it was meaningful in many ways! Hope your dreams are good ones.
DeleteI love the way you use words! Big Hugs Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Big hugs back at you
DeleteSo soothing. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis whole piece feels like an enchanting dream. Lovely!
