Flowing

in a fluid dance ~ unpredicted synergy ~ spiralling from us — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa — Photo: Barcelona 2018/09

then you closed your eyes ~ saying you owed me this song ~ and danced through my mind — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

In windows

dancing in the rain ~ through the windows of my heart ~ gazing at the streets — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Longest lunar eclipse: July 2018; South Africa

as the moon breathes in ~ silently holding her breath ~ we dance in starlight — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Timing

with the ebb and flow ~ our emotions have to cope ~ in this odd duet — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

The dance

in our slow tango ~ we step and pace and embrace ~ until it’s too late — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Eyeycontact

I watch you dancing ~ your soul captured in each step ~ your heart in motion

Kalahari tango

she tells the four winds ~ about an ochred rain dance ~ inviting them all — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Renewal

everything has changed ~ I can now dance in the rain ~ to my heart’s delight — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Mentor

t’was you who taught me ~ to pause and take a deep breath ~ to dance in the rain
