nostalgia – unturned

i rest a hand on

dimpled bulb of door – handle

fondle brass of past

.

haiku

.

n.b

nostalgia meaning : our pain

.

there is a tendency to return to pain. painful memories can be an addiction.

we speak of them often, draw them back into our existence, repeatedly, why…?

what does this justify…?

what if we left them in the past and staying in the present, looked to the future. Joy…? Peace…? Forgiveness…? Gratitude…?

ahhhhhh… ! mmmmmmm …!

dirt music

i dig down into

the garden of my self

unearthing truth and

worms and roots

flowers too

and in doing so

heal self and heal earth

singing hours

breath by breath my self

butterfly ~ bee light

.

not a haiku
