Haiku Series
In exile we go
to a place beyond telling,
where we learn to know
our fears and failures,
misjudged turns on broken roads,
that brought us to here.
Life and death pass so,
awaken us, unspoken
for just this moment.
Our heart's own story,
written silently within,
dark, cold and lonely,
waits still to be lived,
yearns for our emboldening,
quiet, sure embrace.
Here we must return,
know full-well how it has been,
forever create.
The future, as unsure as it ever has been, waits for us to re-create ourselves within it.
