In a meadow field - a series of haikus |
In a meadow field In the midst of tallest green And barely unseen Bloomed a flower sweet I went to pick it for you It was red and blue And looked so alone The only one of its kind Meant for me to find I went towards it Its splendour small yet divine It had to be mine Mine to give to you So I picked it with great care And let it lie there In my hand so sweet Its blossoms shone in the light I drew in their might For a mere moment The world stood silent and still I looked at the hill Beyond which you were I walked at first, then I ran Ran like the wind can At the top I stopped I saw you standing below I felt my heart grow You looked so beautiful Your face, luminous and bright Quite the splendid sight But amidst the sun Next to your shadow there stood One more than there should ‘Twas of another Who stood closely by your side And held you with pride You seemed so content To have found old love again My soul filled with pain And like the flower I was alone, red and blue And I cried for you As you were long gone Together once, now apart I stood with hurt heart With flower in hand I no longer let tears yield In the meadow field |
