death

The Inevitable

on our way to death ~ we should play and laugh and sing ~ make each moment count —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Fire

sometimes beauty comes ~ from the ashes of our hurt ~ to heal what’s broken —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Fleeting

it is a rainbow ~ this our multi-coloured life ~ so quickly over —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

In the end

plant a tree for me ~ from which the squirrels can feed ~ and where birds can breed — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Life

all that break or bend ~ all that start, form and fulfil ~ all that live must end — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa — Photo: Lund 2018/08

On the precipice

caught in a child’s art ~ deep thoughts through time and space ~ of life and of death —©

Loss

our sadness deepens ~ when even flowers are grey ~ in a world of pain — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Pretext

this is your siren song ~ this is your excuse not to live ~ this is my exit

Broken

here the heartbroken ~ the forgotten, unsheltered ~ lay in graves of stone

Final resting place

closer, close by ~ the end approaches every day ~ our return to stone

Last breath

the dawning was dim ~ on that very fateful day ~ that life lost its breath

Along the way

on our way to death ~ we should play and laugh and sing ~ make each moment count

Brief acquaintance

too many riddles ~ in the dark blue stream of life ~ too few lucid days

Too little time

it is a rainbow ~ this our multi-coloured life ~ so quickly over

Helpless

the sun in my words ~ chases winter winds and mist ~ from a shore of death

Captured

Dare to live

how can you live
–
with a constant fear of dying?
–
it’s no life at all

Death again

suddenly you’re gone
–
this world perhaps never yours
–
it remains unreal

Lost friend

sipping cold white wine
–
snaking along the Danube
–
now you’re gone my friend
