I'm writing again! I don't know why I let it go so long. But my poetry has become a comfort in this challenging year.
These were written for a Water Lantern Festival. I wrote them on the paper water lantern I released out into the pond. They represent the loss I have experienced, the strength I have found as I faced that loss, and the hope for a new chapter.
Haikus
By Rebecca Klamert
sand, shells, salt water
slip through my fingers freely
waves retreat to sea
roots, branches, and limbs
stretch as deep as wide as high
weathered, worn, yet stands
black of night transforms
first blue, then golden red
my eyes see anew
