Wednesday Haiku #19



To  everything  there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.
 And everything has purpose and reason for existing in your world the way that it does.
As always, every photo or picture can be enlarged.



                      "Lament"
Autumn loneliness: A cricket grieves
This evening in the scarecrow's ragged sleeves
                                      ----Chigetsu

"Koan"

What if a housefly, in perfect faith
on the swatter stands, 
wiping his little feet and hands? 
                             ----Zen Paradox

The Garden of Ryoan-Ji

Moss-bound and weather-worn the boulders stand;
Around them flows a stream of silver sand.
                             -- Ho-O

  1. So true Annie. Reminds me of Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8. Although I'm not crazy about the reason for flies or any other bug. LOL! Have a blessed day my friend.
