HAIBUN | IN A BLINK

Where have all the people disappeared to? Do we say hello to one another down the street? Does Friday appear almost as soon as Monday is here? The weekend passes by in a blink...
brisk summer walksbusiness as usualcity is alive and aware
How have all my friends been doing? Do we still write emails and letters  to each other? Does December appear almost as soon as soon as January arrives? The months pass by in a blink...
autumn to autumnrivers flow as they shouldto sea without hesitation
When did all the children go silent? Do we hear their laughter ringing in the street? Does winter appear as soon as summer is over? The seasons pass by in a blink...
snowflakes fallall sleep even as the wind howlsthe earth renews itself
Why are all the babies announcements unfamilliar? Did we attend our best friends' baby showers this year? Does Christmas appear almost as soon as we celebrate New Year? The year passes by in a blink...
a lone sprig growsspring brings hope and falsesecurity is so fleeting
Where is that mountain over yonder? Did I miss the horizon while the city grew taller? Did a concrete jungle  appear over busy years? Did the decades pass us by in a blink...
summer is relentlesslike the morning glorya kingdom to climb
