Sunrise of hope?; Haiku by Roy Lindquist

breath of life
tiny thread of silk
any tomorrow

forest path
footsteps left behind
shadows

dust to dust
autumn comes
was I here

sunrise of hope
morning glory
raise from grave

Days in darkness; Haiku by Roy Lindquist

mist of joy
cure the bitterness
of vastest life

universe breath
in totality
suzumushi song

closed eyes
listen in the darkness
life complied

I have had days of sorrow and days in darkness, the loss of my dog was more difficult than I first thought. Life looked dark and sky was hidden and I found it hard to continue writing. Then I had to think of the glory of life just in a tiny insect....

My Dog`s death "Oscar" 2000 -2009, a Haiku

time shared
years of joy ended
 love complited

like a shadow
 friend never left one ince
two in one

green plains
and snowy winter
enjoyed togehter

left is
only your empty basket
sorrow

My dog Oscar, walked as my dearest friend along my side every day, trusting complitely in me. He was sick, but dident know that I had to take him to the Vet and put him down. This was hurting me totaly...and will still do a long time. Yes, it hurts very much.....words is empty at this state of mind.....

Ikebana - death; Haiku......

all life
is sacred
tiny flower


death occurs
when the stem of the flower
breaks


Ikebana
admiration of death
 cruelty

- - - - - - -

gentle waltz
early autumn leaf's
 distant admiration

Haiku by Roy Lindquist

As I am getting older, I feel all life is sacred, and even cutting flower's make me feel I shorten a life I am not allowed to do.

Its possible this is very controversial to say, but I cant stop thinking of it...

We admire a beautiful flower arrangement like Ikebana, but what do we really admire.....

I like better then Bonzai ( perhaps ) ....

This is unique I think ...a blue aquarium...live:
