Athens
Alleys of Athens
in so many minds ~ a past that wanders freely ~ through the cobbled streets —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Anchoring
in the four winds blow ~ the cornerstones of my heart ~ ever circling —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Grass
never-ending sands ~ of a blue day and bird’s egg ~ that blow in the wind —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Sobriety
too many riddles ~ in the dark blue stream of life ~ too few lucid days —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Swift
that was the day ~ I didn’t want to stop you ~ wanted you to fly —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Athens, Greece: June 2017
today’s farewell kiss ~ sun setting over the city ~ where ancient gods rule —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Acropolis
through olive orchards ~ across white marble pebbles ~ in Athena’s arms — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Streets of Athens
in her ancient walls ~ guiding through her narrow streets ~ she embraces me — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa — Photo: Athens 2017/06
Mediterranean
octopus dinner ~ sun setting in a distance ~ over ancient roofs — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa — Photo: Athens 2017/06
Athenian night
as my mind drifts free ~ voices drone in the background ~ white marble afloat — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa — Photo: Athens 2017/06
Noticed
I recognised you ~ as you came through lost cities ~ our table was set
