Conjuring
Can today assume tomorrow? Time travels without a map, like branches reaching toward the sun.
staring into light
eyes enter mind, as presence
always becoming
Seeking the hour of forever, the question lingers: is it too late or too early?
with smoke and mirrors
the gaps confuse prediction–
nothing is revealed
This may or may not be a haibun, but it was composed for Colleen’s poetry challenge this week, once again incorporating prompt words from the Secret Keeper. I was also inspired by the wonderful tree and light artistry of Sue Vincent and Claudia McGill.

Imagine the view from each branch. Ever-branching versions of yourself. The possibilities. It reminds me of the hope in Merril’s recent poem.

Oh, I like your poetry. I’m sure it’s close enough to be a Haibun. I would never halt your creativity. Besides, your words flow with meaning and innuendo. That is powerful! ❤ Well done!
