Star Child

I’m but a star child.

Born out of the emptiness

Beyond time and space

Nine Haikus in Memory of David

1

The star of David.,

The light of my dead brother

Whom I never knew.

2

It shines still today

During my darkest hours

Bringing back a hope.

3

Not to be afraid

To question what people say,

For life is vanity.

4

Life comes and it goes,

Our bodies deteriorate

And our minds do too.

5

David, where are you?

You died before I could know

What death really meant.

6

I never forgot

You were one day here with us.

But I never knew.

7

I still search for you

In my own ways I still seek you

My unknown brother.

8

Yes, I was too young.

To remember who you were..

Or get to know you

9

Your are the reason

I never stopped asking "Why?".

You're my guiding star.

Lost?

Lost again, am I?

Knowing but still denying

The call of my heart.

In Search of Perfect Peace

I sought perfection.

To find nothingness and death

Barren, perfect peace.

A Day of Rest?

Just a day of rest

I hoped for but never got.

Perhaps tomorrow?

in Memory of Identity

I do lose myself

In a nature beyond me

Finding compassion

A Witness to the Dark

No light without dark

There’s no hope without despair

No life without death

Letting Go - A Haiku Trio

Hopes and dreams may die,

Now, a tree may yield no fruit.

Living on thru death.

Like our hopes and dreams,

A dying wish can give life,

To other beings.

And fresh hopes and dreams,

May grow from dwindling visions,

First we must let go.

Star Gazer

Stars light up the night

A boy stares above in awe

Are we all alone?
