When on my walk along The Danube today … the wind was strong … but warm … it was upwind … and I usually don’t like … upwinds … dead winds … or head-winds at all. When I go by bike I hate it.
Today I found I liked it a lot. In that new experience I wanted to stay and enjoy. So I did! I imagined the wind brought new thoughts into my head. Suddenly it did. The wind brought back a thought I often had when very young … walking home in the night … me and the stars … I remember I almost used to feel dizzy at that time … thinking about … “am I really?” ….(=do I really exist?) … incomprehensible great … universe … earth … me …
about the everything
I can understand nothing
humbly bowing
at the same time I realize
everything emerge out of the nothing
… which leave me … with the question … “nothing”? …
nothing is
nothing will be – once
nothing (really) was
Cannot decide about last line … with or without ‘really’ ….. HELP!
About Hafiz … I feel the poem is linked so much to a special time … of how to be … and that is not now … in our time.
I don’t believe in … wiping out … efface … oneself … and I definitely have no wish to “be rewarded with boundless pastures and eternal rest” … I live here and now … and I will do my very best … being the best myself … as well as being humble I react … and act …
Most humble … I think …. I am with my camera and macro lens … which makes it possible for me to see even the tiniest insect feet, feelers and more. How I marvel at such wonders!
From the nature … through my Canon … right into my dear Mac … I can see … what wasn’t seen …
feet and feelers
walking the life – feeling
where is nothing?feet and feelers
experience life – wondering
where is nothing?
Checking the length today …

Very original as always !
Thanks for visiting and reading!
Without ‘really’ best. You really are writing well. Your posts are an adventure and insight, and the philosophy is real.
Without “really”, otherwise you break the rhythm of the stanza. Nice post !
Thanks Nicole!
I like the process this went through.
Thanks a lot for reading and commenting!
I would say too “without really” it makes the haiku stronger with more depth.
Thanks Kristjaan! It’s so interesting how a little word can change … depth and power in poetry lines 🙂 And also very very interesting to discuss and share opinions/thoughts about poetry, I think.
I so love to read your works.
And I am so glad you do 🙂 Thanks! And I appreciate your comments very much!
