Haiku is such a beautifully expressive form when done well, and this one is done well, Red. Mirrors are dichotomous…in one glance they are brutally honest, and with the next glance, devilishly deceitful.
Beautiful post 🙂

Okay..I’ ve finally caught my breath after reading your poem and listening to the song…the memories it fostered were long buried but came to the surface again..a bitter sweetness…but here’s something from a stranger “You’re truly beautiful.” Cheers my friend!

Amanda, I will continue to send you loving light with trust that you will take what you need so you know the joy of being loved. So many of us here in our blogging family care about you that I am confident you invite love where ever you are.

Amy, I can feel the love, know that I keep it inside and appreciate your presence and thoughts more than I can say!! You are very special…I send you love in abundance!! oxo

Beautiful Haiku…more oft than not, mirrors reveal more questions than provide answers. In your busy life we may not see as much of your work but your presence is as powerful as ever when ever you treat us to your beautiful words….I hope you are well and finding peace!
December 8, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Dearest Cindy, thanks from the heart for those wonderful words, I treasure it and sending you lots of love in return 🙂 oxoxox

She leapt into her sky, caddied and weeping
Listfully emporium and tasted wine licorice
She turned into a beautiful raven
And danced in her blackened mirrored prism
Her tears touched the emptied air as flight was her reflection
Hearts found frozen to the ground etched in smiles
She looked up and saw him shining in her aura
When the dawn blissed their forever
They flew and perched their love beside their wisdom…
Gazing deep elder forests shade
Twisted juniper groves and birch white paper
OOOOOO… shivering like twilight
Winter is now our tribe!!!
December 8, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Miss your words and images to start my day! Hope all is well! xx
December 8, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Love this haiku! Mirror reflections have a way of eliciting push-pull reactions and I love how you capture this in the last line.
December 8, 2010 at 9:10 pm
I really hope they come back! Lovely words!
I miss you too girl! Hope to see you writing more regularly!
December 9, 2010 at 4:32 am
Buttercup, you are indeed quite a haiku writer!
December 9, 2010 at 10:24 am
They’ll be back…they belong to you and no one else! Reflections have a way of returning, just maybe not as we want them to. I’ve missed you.
December 9, 2010 at 11:49 am
the image is powerful,
your words are few, yet complete and well rounded…
divine piece.
Glad to see you post.
Happy Wednesday!
December 10, 2010 at 5:58 am

Loads of Love xoxox
