sky | Haiku Journey

Essence…

Piercing halo peel,
releasing sun’s essence.
On winter solstice.

At nautical twilight
thousands of stars, civil twilight
out of sight.

Bands of blue and purple,

Signs of winter’s brutal weather,

Have bruised the sky.

Waning moon, day star

Aging brother, bright sister

Spring morning wonder

Standing watch over starfish,
as the day draws to a close, as they begin their nightly ascension,
climbing into the indigo sky
