A bird gliding slow
Soaring high across the Earth
Limitless freedom
Walking on a path
Forest pressing in tightly
Sound of leaves crunching
+
Stop, turn, look, and stare
Something moving soft and slow
Growling with hunger
+
Feet starting to run
Multiple sounds erupting
Forest comes alive
+
Creatures on the hunt
Surrounded, no where to go
He stops, starts to plan
+
A shot rings loudly
Something screams in the distance
Voices shouting out
+
Man takes off running
He thinks of safety and hope
Feet are light and quick
Night starting to rise
Sunlight fading into dusk
Another day complete
+
I wrote this last night as the sun was starting to set.
Saturated ground
Thirsting for cool clear water
Clouds erupt with rain
+
Not raining today. I wrote this yesterday as we had a massive thunderstorm roll through. The storm lasted for hours and it inspired this Haiku.
Hot afternoon sun
Day consumed by summer heat
Shade offers relief
+
Feels like a day for this song.
