in a blue moment ~ in the shadows of our thoughts ~ seeing you clearly
in a blue moment ~ in the shadows of our thoughts ~ seeing you clearly
without wordiness ~ within just a breath or two ~ we can say it all
autumns lost and found ~ springs that gently settle in ~ when we’re poles apart
ephemeral wings ~ like colourful memories ~ brush against our cheeks
you send me flowers ~ not in petals or in leaves ~ but with silent words
in just a moment ~ the economy of words ~ captures it all
eternal nomad ~ meets another wanderer ~ a moment of rest
we walk in silence ~ our words footprints in the sand ~ a wave cleans the slate
no expectations ~ only curiosity ~ and an open heart
in a few words ~ a trail of thought opens up ~ our minds may take flight
just a few soundbites ~ to share such simple moments ~ of amazing depth
room filled with voices ~ a moth folds its silver wings ~ she simply walks out
my words remain few ~ only half-uttered ideas ~ you fill the spaces
she has spoken ~ he also had his say ~ the silence deepens
rather ironic ~ those who fond themselves so wise ~ that they miss the point
a poet’s pencil ~ sings the music of our hearts ~ filling up pages
it does not matter ~ whether you decide to smile ~ it really matters
look in the water ~ on its surface reflecting ~ a lone wanderer
a beautiful thing ~ a day stolen from our lives ~ fleetingly souls touched
move across the land ~ touching lightly where you go ~ quiet wanderer
written as a sketch ~ the mind’s eye is limitless ~ in its rendering
dragonfly hovers ~ waiting for its mate to join ~ in their complex dance
wanting to slow down ~ wanting to have some more time ~ to count my words
so little to say ~ so much to listen to ~ our best dynamic
one mind loves to flow ~ the other just wants to fly ~ meeting in a thought cloud
to explore our hearts ~ we only have one lifetime ~ which is not enough
the people we dream ~ leaving trails without names ~ ever in our minds
waves roll timelessly ~ thoughts of simplicity flow ~ nothing’s permanent
cannot stop hearing ~ the vast stillness in your voice ~ a heart’s melody
I take flight above ~ while you fight the fierce dragon ~ of deep emotion

table set for two
yet only one has arrived
but three is a crowd
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
when I catch your stones
observing them with my hands
my mind is at ease
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
on that single day
I found the blue that’s you
between green and grey
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
we stand in the sun
with our dreams strewn in the wind
hoping they’ll fly back
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
in a sea of grey
so easy to drift away
and so hard to stay
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
we could imagine a world without rape or tears a world so at peace
we may imagine a world without greed or strife a world that’s at peace
we should imagine a world without guns and bombs a world so at peace
we might imagine a world without fear or lies a world that’s at peace
dare we imagine a world without religion that will bring us peace?

Asimbonanga
my friend across the ocean
until you are free
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
it’s wrapped and ribboned
it’s a greed that rules the world
wonder at what cost?
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
sometimes I forget
that I’m waiting in the night
for my own stillness

a circus with guns
–
a ring with dangerous clowns
–
the humour escapes
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
oceans of greyness
–
a land longing for sunshine
–
four degrees and fog
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
last night I just sat
–
listening at the waves break
–
wishing you were here
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
now I bow my head
–
in such deep-felt thankfulness
–
and a private smile
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
they roam hand in hand
–
in their deep connectedness
–
our thoughts and our minds
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
there’s an empty space
–
where you hover in my thoughts
–
next to me today
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
lilac in your eyes
–
from the jacaranda blossoms
–
only once a year
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
African rhythms
–
across a vast grey ocean
–
when I reach for you
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
an African voice
–
sings the song that you so loved
–
thirty years later
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
our sadness deepens
–
when even flowers are grey
–
in a world of pain

message from the north
“Sunrise over frozen lake”
brought a morning smile
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
you gather them all
–
the scattered pieces that’s me
–
lost throughout the world
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
I’m a floating gull
–
drifting on the ocean’s breeze
–
happy to just be
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
moments that are shared
–
bring such unexpected depth
–
and a light softness
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
a fist full of dreams
–
is all I have to bring
–
will that be enough?
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
on a windless day
–
blue reflections float away
–
while gulls drift and play
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
found my emotions
–
lost in a grey Pierneef cloud
–
that you will not see
© Lize Bard @ https://wandererhaiku.wordpress.com/
found her delving in
–
the mind’s creativity
–
filled me with wonder
