Soft breeze teasing cold
Silent sighs of Winter Night
Mistress of sad hearts
I tried to turn this into a renga or at least a tan-renga but in the end I think leaving it as a haiku is best. Below I post what wrote in the attempt of turning it into a renga:
Soft breeze teasing cold
Silent sighs of Winter Night
Mistress of sad hearts
Pressed back by coming twilight
Giving forth to paltry dawn
Winter Day stands tall
Master of the troubled mind
Good and harsh teacher
The path that I was walking down slipped away from me
I turned to find where I'd been but only forest could I see
I would say that I lost my way but what you don't have you can't lose
There's no trail to guide my feet, just a direction I must choose
I don't know where I will go and I'm not even sure I care
Where ever I end up it's a sure bet that I willll be there
Don't hold your breath or count the days, just let me take my time
It doesn't matter how long it takes I know that I'll be fine
Impudently dedicated to Joli. Thank you so much for indulging us.
What can I put upon this page?
What words should I use?
Would it be proper to lay my mind bare?
Should I open my soul for searching eyes?
I have no thoughts worth searching
I have no secrets worth knowing
I do not write of these things
What I offer up to you is nothing great
Yet I ask you to accept these from me
My pain and my pleasure
My distaste and my desire
Not what I feel but what I am
A never ending search for peace
The last breath exhaled for eternity
