Brief Intervals

…of a dream

Whispers of the dawn
cherry blossoms fall softly
morning mist gives way

a soft lilac horizon
a calming wind in the trees

in the garden’s hush
songs of robins fill the air
petals on the breeze

a long pause between the notes
as if waiting for something

gentle light of day
colours dance on trembling leaves
nature’s symphony

brief intervals of a dream
endless circularity

as the sun ascends
shadows lengthen day grows warm
peaceful moments pass

pale pink petals fluttering
drifting languid in the wind

A renga is a form of collaborative Japanese poetry. Traditionally, it involves multiple poets composing alternating stanzas, but can be written by a single poet, it follows the traditional structure of alternating 5–7–5 and 7–7 syllable stanzas
