Spreading an inner
feel, unwittingly prodding
an undisturbed mind
Searching for truth as
peace within rare as shooting
stars on starless nights
peace within rare as shooting
stars on starless nights
Unsettled bubbling
breaking tranquility with
staccato outbursts
Unwind slowly to
voices of reason lurking
I agree: Sometimes inner peace IS elusive!
ReplyDeletePeace in Plums
can be hard to grasp, but makes it all the better when found
ReplyDeletelike the butterfly ~ tao is elusive but always able to get back to the peace ~ visualize self floating down a river and flow with the tao is what I have read ~ very contemplative and well penned haiku ~ carol ^_^
ReplyDeleteThe second one especially resonated with me. Beautiful set!
ReplyDeletei think in some way we are all looking for that truth....that peace...it is there, though some days its elusive....
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian, I think we are all looking for truth and inner peace. Some days it seems we have found it, only to have it slip away and begin the search once more. Lovely poem!
ReplyDeleteSalvation is indeed peace. Nice!
ReplyDeletePeace within is sometimes elusive that's true, but we all are seeking for our balance and that balance is hard to find in the world we live in now. Peace within we can find through meditation, contemplation and writing haiku ... all very strong Zen-Buddhistic things.
ReplyDeleteA wonderfully composed series haiku Hank thank you for sharing.
wish I had an 'undisturbed mind'! I love the ambiguity in this set....
ReplyDeleteNice flow of thoughts on inner peace.
