even the waves return to the shore a life of exile #haiku

petals fall like fleeting thoughts stillness remains #haiku

above the mud a lotus rises despite it all #haiku

staying quiet the mind remembers distant shores #haiku

the quiet of afternoon rain calming the mind #haiku

earth waves the ebb and flow of time #haiku

embracing warmth in the early morning sun butterfly shadows #haiku

a hillside scent of new beginnings wild lilies sway #haiku

small steps making progress #haiku

guava bloom a honeybee disappears into morning light #haiku

in silent rain the waterlily holds morning light #haiku

shifting shadows in meandering mountains the silence of time #haiku

morning light - a waterlily opens from dark water #haiku

at the woods' edge a scent of ginger lilies this fragile peace #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt

a breath of spring in the shaded woods a single bloom #haiku

as waters still reflections grow clear this inner peace #haiku

the scent of falling rain and silence #haiku

drifting water returns to the sea the journey home #haiku

branches bow bearing fruits gifts of life #haiku

after the rain colors return without a sound #haiku

night-long thunderstorm clearing the dust away the colors of spring #haiku

wild iris return under the old guava tree crickets in the grass #haiku

old farmer's field fallow another year cherry blossoms drift #haiku

the quiet of small things far from the noise #haiku

the days warm frogs in the paddies find their voice #haiku

spring breeze the fragility of time #haiku

spring mist new beginnings go unseen #haiku

time lingers in the shifting mountains plum rains #haiku

forgiveness in the stillness of dawn spring rain #haiku

magpies respond to the low flying eagle morning commotion #haiku

cherry blossom by a mountain stream the faint scent of time #haiku

the shoreline fades into a growing silence the falling rain #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt

a silence and emptiness the falling rain #haiku

spring returns to this fragile world the old guava tree #haiku

the ginger bush quivers in a breeze distant wars #haiku

a scent of fragility the morning sun #haiku

clouds shadows drifting on the quiet sea this wandering life #haiku

lines of learning reaching for a source the old banyan #haiku

at Long'an Temple orchids bloom in morning light this quiet warmth #haiku

watching in silence as the light slips away news of a war #haiku

spring blossom losing its luster war news #haiku

empty playgrounds - over the quiet land stormclouds gather #haiku

I woke to what he had done the falling rain #haiku

the world is slipping off the edge #haiku

distant waves reach an empty shore solitude #haiku

a party of jays pass through the awaking woods a message of spring #haiku

magnolia grove on a cold mountain slope nothing is rushed #haiku

reflections of a zen temple drifting clouds #haiku

drifting cherry blossom gentle breeze #haiku

a fragrance drifts from distant mountains of fragility #haiku #HaikuSaturday #ValentinesDay
