Hello Spring!

Hello spring!  You have graced us with a spectacular day.  The warm golden plumeria sun shines upon my face and soon nature will be in full bloom. I watch the slow moving nebulous white clouds drifting above   Listening to music on my afternoon walk I find myself traveling in time.  It seems only natural to dream and my mind like a grasshopper jumps from place to place.

The great blue heron wades in the shallow fresh water with a distinctive prehistoric look.  Losing none of his grace in repose, waiting patiently to spear a fish.  There is a sense of solemness as if  life might fly away on mourner’s wings at any moment. 

“Market My Letters” plays in my ears and I recall a time when I believed in fairy-tales.  The beauty of music is its ability to transform.  I close my eyes and inhale the beauty of now.

Haibun Monday : Let's Travel Through Time
hosted my Merril

Optional - Merril  added some paint chip names to use like random words. So, I decide to try a few.  Can you guess them?

Thank you for reading! "Market My Letters" is a song by Burton Cummings - it is poetic with a whimsical feel of another time period.

  5. Each time I head out of our home for a long walk, music is my companion. I am amazed how it takes me 'out of my head' .. transforms me the way you described so beautifully.

  6. Wonderful haibun, Truedessa! You used a lot of the paint chip colors, and it worked perfectly for your poem.
