an unexpected guest (haiga)
a different kind of therapist (haibun)
Waking earlier than usual, she shuffles eyes half closed, holding her forehead to the bathroom to run her bath. Peeking through tired eyes at her reflection and after careful evaluation sighs with relief that Man-made masks exist in all forms.

on ashen face
painting taupe shadows and liner
illusions of a happy face
Arriving at her appointment, she settles comfortably and opens up to a face of compassion. Tears running down her cheeks, her therapist listens with empathy and continues her task…
scraping and cutting
polishing for good measure

Who knew her foot doctor could be the only one who seems to “get it”? Too bad the next appointment is only in two months.

Daily Moments – speechless (haiga) July 31 & August 1, 2017
I just noticed this prompt at Carpe Diem #1228 sunset (CD Imagination) today and decided to include my “daily moments” haiga at work yesterday, which just happened to be written July 31st.

During a long counselling call, I looked out the window and noticed the sunset…I could not run up on the roof for a short break so I took a photo from my I-Phone …

Today, looking at this photo again, my muse whispered her impressions…

with raging passion

the river mourns (troibun)
She gifted me on her very own birthday! Giving me a perfect day, sunshine and precious company, what better way to end it with this new tradition…
by the rapids
beating to a yearning heart
the river roars
by the rapids
waves pouring stories
dancing eagerly
beating to a yearning heart
embracing and comforting
Mother Nature knows
the river roars
rumbling outbursts
calming release

after the snow storm (troiku) Daily moments Feb 13/17
Snow banks
adourning boulevards
after the snowstorm
snow banks
stretching to eternity
one giant wall
adourned boulevards
clean cut lines
understated chic
after the snowstorm
same redundant deep roar
all day long
