Tranquility Inspired Haikus
Here’s a note from the photographer/poet: “I took this picture 10 years ago (January 2013) while on vacation in my native Haiti; That’s what our winters look like. The picture fixes in time a moment of tranquility and stillness. To me, it’s a reminder to remain calm and anchored in the face of daily challenges. It inspired me to write some Haikus”
Unceasing flow of
Sapphire undulations-
Pause for a moment.
Be free from chatter
Like this sunbathing dinghy,
Trusting its anchor.
Winter in Haiti-
A dinghy unphased by waves:
Pure tranquility.

This pairing of image and poem worked perfectly, each complimenting the other competing. Reading and looking creates a restful moment.
