what is wild, is new...a string of haiku

haiku & photo~kate lamberg (c) '15
"When I would recreate myself, I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and most impenetrable.....I enter a swamp as a sacred place, a sanctum sanctorum… I seemed to have reached a new world, so wild a place…far away from human society." - Henry David Thoreau


what is wild, is new,
is this grey skyline vanishing
into infinite whiteness

what is loving, is true,
becomes hands stroking sand
salt water rising through

what is worship, is you
looking at me without a clue
how this poem ends

the heavy cloud at dusk
recreates its form- as rain
drops fall on rocks

when we stop to notice
how all of nature's song
can never be wrong

we are entering into
an age of post-forgiveness
absolving recovery

pitched roof protects
dwellers in rainy season
bamboo sleeps silently

nature is no less woven
into our beings than our own
heart, lungs, and breath
