Carpe Diem Weekend-meditation #3 – Troiku
on the river
lights float to the horizon
the dead rejoice

And here is my attempt at a Troiku based on Basho’s haiku
~
on the river
autumn leaves sail downstream
yellow boats
lights float to the horizon
drifting with the current
fallen leaves
the dead rejoice
in the change of seasons
earth lies fallow
I love those yellow leaf boats, Candy, and the drifting lights. I like the way the last line moves to a minor key: ‘earth lies fallow’.
