on this little path ~ your heart lightly touching mine ~ our minds might take flight — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

in those silent spells ~ I don’t want to read your words ~ but will fly with you — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Spell

water like velvet ~ your voice on a cloudless night ~ flying in moonlight — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Scattered

we stand in the sun ~ with our dreams strewn in the wind ~ hoping they’ll fly back — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Gliding

on a windless day ~ blue reflections float away ~ while gulls drift and play — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Boundless

there are no boundaries ~ to the mind’s imaginings ~ to the distance flown — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Schmetterling

let us fly away ~ to a land filled with strange fowls ~ and rainbow feathers — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Too brief

time flies like a gull ~ when we travel seven seas ~ and the oceans too — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Plunging

I take flight above ~ while you fight the fierce dragon ~ of deep emotion — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Words have wings

this our legacy ~ these written words never die ~ allow minds to fly — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Changeling

when I found your soul ~ it was black, bent and broken ~ now your spirit soars — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

With children

we build paper planes ~ chasing them on the green grass ~ cherishing moments — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Rainbird

when joy disappears ~ my soul flies into the clouds ~ where I find your trail — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Homecoming

like a swallow’s flight ~ bringing sunshine to the rain ~ a return to you — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Soaring

in the cloudy sky ~ through the mountains around us ~ hear how silence flies — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Individualism

what is normalcy? ~ each of us a different flight ~ into the dark night — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Return flight

fly into the sun ~ away from cold, ancient stones ~ and this earthly bond — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Fly free

tumbling through my thoughts ~ itinerant in my mind ~ I’m releasing you — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Defeathered

Icarus’ ego ~ is reflected in your speech ~ flying and falling

@ Haiku out of Africa

Your poetry

a slave to freedom ~ you tie my heart with your words ~ permitting airlift

@ Haiku out of Africa

Unique creature

I saw a rare bird ~ one who soars and drifts and thinks ~ t’was your reflection

@ Haiku out of Africa

Synchronicity

freefall of my mind ~ is safely caught in your hands ~ flying in concert

@ Haiku out of Africa

Instinct

like a homing dove ~ my impulse to fly to you ~ to break from restraints

@ Haiku out of Africa

Unsuppressed

free from all bondage ~ we drift on wings of dreaming ~ listening for space

Kew Gardens: London, September 2017

I want to show you ~ a garden of pure delight ~ where minds can take flight

@ Haiku out of Africa

when I surrendered ~ you enveloped my fears ~ and let me take flight

Of a feather

flimsy paper birds ~ we fly amongst life’s clouds ~ sometimes sharing space

Flights and fights

I take flight above ~ while you fight the fierce dragon ~ of deep emotion
