Daily Haiku – Page 127 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Monday Haiku

Upon such wonders
Mundanity feels morose
Off we go: escape!

Jewels upon blackness,
Tangled sparkles, velvet dreams,
Icy air drives me.

My mind drifts onward
Lighting upon cloudy dreams
Embraced future tense

Embrace the strangeness,
Unique viewpoints we each bring
Colors in stained glass

Into darkened skies
Flung upwards against logic
Longing pulls homewards

Completed journey
Having done all that I can
Now facing homewards

Morning’s strange silence,
A gentle hum from machines
Human’s echoing

A huge distance home
I’m learning all that I can
Returning better

Reading it forwards
Our life ages gracefully.
Can we go backwards?

I value journeys
For I learn far more than I
Ever could at home
