Autumn comes russet-
robed. Gold in her hair. The sound
of departing wings.

NaPoWriMo 26 – Kennings
For day 26, some kennings. Bjorn at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads presented the concept of Kennings. Or compound noun combinations.
My impromptu attempt 🙂
~~~
A leaf-fall. A leaf
falls on to the forest floor.
Beyond that, silence.
~~~
A heart-knock. Someone
knocks on my heart boarded up.
Beyond that, silence.
~~~
A tune-lilt. Lilting
tunes slowly take me apart.
Beyond that, silence.
~~~
A death-wish. Dying
to the past my only wish.
Beyond that, silence.

There be demons.

For day 23, a haibun.
AUTUMN
As I enjoy the colours of autumn, it also reminds me to let go of old paradigms, worn and tattered beliefs, past-its-expiry-date relationships, outdated concepts that no longer serve. Yes, it’s hard. For don’t we all love the old and comfy, whether it be things or thoughts. The security blanket of the tried and tested.
Autumn sings hymns of
dissolution. Quiet death.
Spring smiling sleeps.
So, just like trees need to let go of the old and dying, lay bare their branches and go through a period of rest and slumber, for new buds to spring forth and life to begin anew, we need to empty ourselves of the old and outworn, so that life can replenish us with the fresh and the new.

in nothingness

Nothing like one’s birthday to ponder over the ephemeral nature of life.

sunshine turn into honey
did I hear a bee?
