Everturning: A #haibun #Quadrille

The water cycle.

The life cycle.

 

The cycles of my mistakes.

 

The wheel turns and turns, a child’s merry-go-round spinning too fast.

 

The rock cycle.

The universal cycle.

 

What goes around, comes around.

 

Solstice

another turn

of the seasons

why can’t

time stand still?

    A delicate-looking haibun with a robust message, Frank! All those different cycles making up the cycle of life.

    It is our life cycles that shape us into the person we are meant to be! 💞

    I like seeing the solstice as a turn of the seasons.

    Yes, cycles can be dizzying, particularly the one of our mistakes. I hope there is a 3D element to the spiral giving hope that we are actually learning and that we’re not literally just spinning round and round on the same track.

      Thanks, Amaya! I’m inspired by your hope in a 3D element! 🙂
