Haibun



                                                WINTER 

The house in darkness. I watch thick flakes, descending slowly.  They seem suspended as if in a viscous liquid.  Bushes assume a rounded shape; fences appear to sink into the ground.  A deep quiet, without and within.  Even the mechanical voices of  the appliances subdued and still.  I stand transfixed.

                                          falling snow—
                                          between dusk and darkness
                                          there is no time

Adelaide - this one is a poem I read over and over, feeling the words and the depth of silence as the snow descended. Wonderful, m' dear!

Thank you Warren. There is a peace when snow falls, as long as one doesn't have to go out it in.
