Haiku - October 4, 2024

11

I thought I’d find you 

in the bright fields of morning 

but you hide in dust 

12

in forgotten dreams 

whispering through empty streets 

where hope clings to pain 

13

here light meets shadow 

where brokenness still believes 

it can find a way 

14

in this darkened place 

I trace the shape of absence 

like a blind man's touch 

15

I know you are near 

a soft glow at the edge of 

despair’s quiet song 

Richard Gordon Zyne
