Withstand daily waves of change
Let your tendrils flow

Carpets of sea grass

Withstand daily waves of change
Let your tendrils flow

When your well is dry
Emptied from your industry
Find a silver sea

Where grass is greener
Does not matter. When you know
Your soul path’s urging

For now
We may know a tree
In the glow of evening
Or midnight blue
Before awakening
That can be enough
Knowing
For now

© Amanda Reilly Sayer
You are
Effervescent
Surf rippling
Waves
Composed of
Salty tears
Your flow
Persistent
Wipes the earth
Clean
New
What now?
Rushing tide
Empty well
Now full
How will you
Honor
Your gifts
Abundant
The ocean
Swirling
Infinite
You

Your deep valleys are
©️ Amanda Reilly Sayer
Only as vast as the space
You need to rise up

© Amanda Reilly Sayer
Even with
Persistence
Deliberate care
Pressure
and prescience
Pendulous motion
A solid iron
Smoothing
Your rough nap
The edges
Re-curl
Recoil from
Striving
Away from
Your center
Weighted ballast
Those corners
Threaten, disturb your
Effortful peace
But then
Who says?
Who ever said?
Why would you believe?
You are supposed to
Lie – flat

I hope you’ll enjoy this haiku, written in response to Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge, which you may learn more about here. In brief, the challenge asks for a haiku using the words narrow and minded.

Bypass narrow river’s edge
Sail the open seas

Even a sliver
