the sun is shining ~ no consistence of rain ~ only the dry land —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Kalahari
Kalahari
naked like water ~ its ephemeral beauty ~ washes over us —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Of rainbows
a few drops of rain ~ the Kalahari blooming ~ and colour erupts — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Open
no promises made ~ no answers in the echoes ~ only empty space — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Juncture
here’s my secret space ~ where I drift on a sea breeze ~ with wild strawberries — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa — Photos: background Kalahari 2016/11; sculpture Hermanus 2016/11
Through the gate
she opens her arms ~ to embrace the sand and shrubs ~ Kalahari dawn — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Riemvasmaak
time was standing still ~ for just a single moment ~ and then you were gone — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Kalahari dusk: April 2018
a dream in pink clouds ~ floating by my windowpane ~ carries me away — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Kalahari tango
she tells the four winds ~ about an ochred rain dance ~ inviting them all — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Kalahariland
on this wide landscape ~ the earth folds back on herself ~ to protect her heart
