Stardust – Penumbra Haiku

Whispered 俳句

comets sigh ‘tween stars
canvas blushes ‘neath dark ink
starlight keeps secrets

Confide 俳句

whispers ‘tween novae
coy rose opens ‘neath starlight
shy heartbeats stargaze

Slight 俳句

slivers of novae
echoes pause ‘tween darkest peaks
faintest heartbeats roar

midnight bouquet ‘neath starlight

runes ‘tween raw starlight
ancients sculpt nows ‘neath satin

Awestruck 俳句

echoes ‘tween mirrors
starlit muse whispers to hearts

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day’; begin it well and serenely,
with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations

“And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it has to bestow upon those who demand of it necessary, serious, and great things.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke, 1892-1910

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
― Roald Dahl, The Minpins
