our sadness deepens ~ when even flowers are grey ~ in a world of pain — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Simply be
ssshhh don’t speak or think ~ don’t do anything but be ~ absolutely still — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

there lives a flower ~ in the crevices of each heart ~ no matter how tough — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Grow
scaffolding our world ~ each time to greater depth ~ reaching for the sun — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Nurtured
come to my garden ~ where pink blossoms bloom at night ~ kissed by the warm sun — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Earth
it’s a small blue rock ~ with daisies in her backyard ~ this our earthly home

Voices
the daisies whisper ~ why are we still listening ~ to the wind and the sun?

when you read me ~ when you become my story ~ we gently unfurl
