Last day of break

So today is the last day of Easter Break so I thought this would be a good time to put up a Haiku that I've been putting off for a while.... Anyway, I wrote this Haiku for my friend Mary for her birthday, and with her permission I'm posting it here for everyone to enjoy. I had a good time writing this one, especially since it was the first one I've ever written for someone else. Inspiration for this would have to be faith I guess. Finding one's faith to bring their soul from darkness to light. So, anyway, here's the Haiku. Enjoy.

O My Soul

O my weary Soul,
Why art thou so dark, so cold?
What hast thou to fear?

Why such deep silence?
Such sorrowful loneliness,
Distraught of such depth.

Thou hast such a Light,
A Warmth, a gentle Kindness,
Darkness does not suit.

Why not be freed?
From such sorrow and despair,
Cast off binding chains.

A bright shining gift,
To chase away the Darkness,
To reveal thy Peace.

A Joy to behold,
Thy gentle warmth envelops,
Thy Peace found at last.

Well, I hope everyone enjoys this Haiku. Comments are always welcome, and for once I don't need title suggestions, which is a huge leap for me.

Easter break

So it's been a little while since I've put anything new up, and since I'm on break I thought, "Hey, why not do a couple Haiku to pass the time?" So that's what I'm doing. When I should, sadly, be doing homework. *Ahem*... Well, anyway, let's just see what I come up with. No particular themes this time, just whatever comes to mind.

Empty Heart

A deep sadness,
A sorrowful loneliness,
Darkness without light;

Profound loneliness,
Locked within an endless void,
Fate of empty hearts.

Untitled

Shadow swift and sharp,
Speeding across the surface,
Chasing silhouettes;

Overtakes swiftly,
A leap, a tumble, laughter,
A joyous greeting.

That went better than expected. Also feeling a bit better after writing. Anyway, may post once more before break is over, and as always, comments and title suggestions are appreciated.

Some free time

So I've had some free time the past couple of days for the first time in a while so I thought I would write a Haiku or two. The first one I created while hanging out with some friends in "The Lab" coffee shop on the campus of my college. It has no special meaning in particular, but is just kind of an expression of the feeling of chasing our dreams and desires. The second one is just me coming up with a Haiku on a whim.

Wings of a Dream

Falling feather soft,
Embraced by warm wings of light,
Chasing skyward dreams.

Smoke curling upward,
A gentle breeze brushing by,
City lights below;

Relaxing by night,
Lingering scent of cigars,
Starlight from above.

As always, feel free to leave comments or title suggestions.
