Paris: June 2018

sit solitary ~ Sunday morning at the Seine ~ stillness drifting by — © 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

a sweet spaciousness ~ fills all the little hollows ~ and the big ones too — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Secluded

solitary souls ~ who prefer to walk alone ~ in our private worlds — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Crowded

room filled with voices ~ a moth folds its silver wings ~ she simply walks out — 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

Africa

here the hard and soft ~ here our love has no measure ~ our hearts touch the land — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Being

poetry of life ~ our freedom and dignity ~ found in solitude

@ Haiku out of Africa

Mirage

fatamorgana ~ of my quiet wanderings ~ born from nothingness

Incomprehensible

I cannot explain ~ the solitary vastness ~ of a silent soul

Arrival

when souls can be touched ~ through our poetry alone ~ we have arrived home

@ Haiku out of Africa

My rock

so glad I found you ~ you’re as companionable ~ as my solitude

@ Haiku out of Africa

Vocalist

voice like an angel ~ a man discovers himself ~ in his loneliness

Singular

look in the water ~ on its surface reflecting ~ a lone wanderer

Quietude

walking on my own ~ lost in my serenity ~ dreams of solitude

Solitary path

to live our full lives ~ some of us will walk alone ~ in a moonlit sky

©Lize Bard

Acclimatising

loving solitude ~ thrown when someone comes along ~ settling in my mind

©Lize Bard

Wanderers

you wander my way ~ life a solitary path ~ strewn with memories

Far away from city lights

wide-open spaces ~ there are some who’ll never know ~ our precious wild souls

Crowded solitude

voices in a choir ~ give sound to my solitude ~ amidst the crowd
