desert of return ~ I swim in your warm embrace ~ touching all the stones — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa — Photo: Namibia 2017/01
desert
Goodnight
alive in stillness ~ the endless sound of the dunes ~ gently tucks us in — © Lize Bard 2 Haiku out of Africa — Namibia 2017/01
Through the gate
she opens her arms ~ to embrace the sand and shrubs ~ Kalahari dawn — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Nomad
in windswept deserts ~ across the clouded oceans ~ I’ll be wandering — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Summons
these open spaces ~ with their eternal silence ~ calling out to us — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Outline
when the desert dances ~ with all its hued silhouettes ~ my heart wants to sing — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Desert fog
not a drop of rain ~ winter days are desolate ~ but then there is you — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Inhale
the spirit of sand ~ takes me to a place of rest ~ where I find my breath — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
In the desert
I stand before you ~ between a sigh and sunrise ~ no expectations — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Musing
in your reverie ~ hands mimicking the stillness ~ that I find in you — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Flying
over the sand dune ~ across the deep blue ocean ~ our spirits roam free — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Absent
as we write these words ~ I feel you drifting away ~ into desert sands — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Unaccompanied
we are all alone ~ this is where we find the calm ~ amid a mind storm — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Ancient desert
the dry wild Namib ~ fog rolls in over the sea ~ and endless red dunes — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Elusive
whispered melodies ~ blown across the desert dunes ~ and lost in sea mists — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Desert rain
manna for my soul ~ white rain in the desert sand ~ and your silent voice

Finally
desert paradise ~ breathtakingly beautiful ~ lay me here to rest — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Hourglass
sand sifts the moments ~ as they slip into the past ~ captured in these words

It is here
the place in my mind ~ where I find a wild stillness ~ filled with your beauty

Beautiful wilderness
a fine rain of words ~ precipitates the desert ~ of our wanderings

Aspirations
we’re chasing blue crabs ~ across ancient red sand dunes ~ in tomorrow’s light

@ Haiku out of Africa
It’s all
the dunes, clouds and stones ~ and then you, and you, and, you ~ and nothing more

Exposed
naked like water ~ its ephemeral beauty ~ washes over me
