Haiku: Time

It will be time
when the time is right.
Smell the blossom

Haibun: Time and Tide

I’ve been waiting for the blossom to
fall in winter,
leaves to blow around the streets
in spring.
I tried to set sail when the tide was out
like forcing the fruit of an apple tree;
I should have waited
to enjoy the sun.
Time is of the essence
and the essence is time:
Each now passes and is gone;
a simple stillness remains

What will be will be
spring’s breath silent like the fall –
the sun comes around
