I sat in the park yesterday and composed this.
Dry rustle on wind
seagull cries over water
mindful, peaceful day
I gazed beyond the park to see a church on the horizon.
Spire rises to sky
At a distance still it makes
Hearts soar heavenward
All of this from my sturdy stone bench, where so many people must have sat over the years.
Stone benches in park
Look out over still, calm lake
What truths they must know
And finally, I looked down, and was hit by a blinding truth of my own - on this beautiful afternoon, all the world was in harmony except my socks.
Nature's rich palette
Except one mis-taken pair
of jarring blue socks
Not all haiku's need to be serious!
