Just Karma 175
‘Able’ and ‘Can’
(mini haibun)
Behind the scenes plays a much different act;
the crew who build and moves the sets -
that is where I have been.
In the darker shadows, with my name
occasionally printed in a pamphlet.
let the loud voices
bellow to reach great distance;
I will hear whispers
*
The wing of industrious insects
Imprinting the seasons with action and song
That is where I will be
In the silver moon lit shadows, with my eyes
Looking upwards to the constellations
let the dusk and dawn
build the dreams of my nights and
also of my daze

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive;
but it is the lightning that does all the work.

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.
I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.
Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
