The Haiku Flow is where I express my thoughts and feeling using the Japanese form Haiku. In its most basic form, the haiku consists of three stanzas where the first and three stanzas usually contain five syllables with the second stanza containing seven syllables. Traditionally, the haiku has a seasonal theme - even if the haikus I write rarely follow this theme and can be said to be unconventional in this respect.

The Voice of Thunder
Shattering the hearts and minds,
Of those who don't care.

Summer's Autumn
Mourn the return of the Fall,
Coming of old age.

Mind Zone
A space is being in time,
Time is in the mind.

Hard as Rock
Defying the cold and heat,
They will too crumble.

Sacred Nature*
1
We are born to die,
Nothing with out each other.
Without nature, dead.
2
We erected temples,
Worshipped the gods of creation.
We looked to the stars.
3
We believed in magic.
Each season, life and death,
Inevitable, precious.
4
Powerless we felt,
This indomitable nature.
Beyond our control.
5
We prayed in the hope.
In the hope it would listen.
But we never knew.
6
We knelt and murdered,
In the name of unknown gods.
Violating nature.
7
We have progressed. Yes.
Enlightened with the ages.
Magic exorcised.
8
Yet, little has changed.
We are born to die, again.
We need each other.
9
Is their life beyond?
Yes or no make no difference.
It's this life I have.
10
we destroy ourselves,
Each time we forget our roots.
Our sacred nature.
*These ten Haikus were Inspired by the Remains of a Neolithic Temple that is found in the town of Tarxien, Malta following a visit there.

Secrets of Petals
A flower rests its petals.
Freedom in sharing.
