Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

time to light the lamps
time to show way to the blind
let him hold the leash!

Let him hold the leash
learn the way of the canine
step out of your box

step out of your box
let us go on a long stroll
be with me , Faithful !

be with me faithful,
never faithless shall I be--
cross me at peril...

"Cross me at peril!,"
the troll shouted from his bridge,
but the goats advanced.

but the goats advanced
lay their heads at the altar
bleated and died

bleated and died
before they were even killed
death of hopeless hearts

death of hopless hearts
is the worse death of them all
i will dream and hope

I will dream and hope
that my teardrops turn to rain
and my thoughts to dust

and my thoughts to dust
blown aimlessly to and fro
never ceasing to fly

never ceasing to fly
I'm a dust-spun mass, soul paused.
I go if I will.

I go if I will
shuddering from the snowdrifts
that softly dream by

that softly dream by
the ocean as its tides wave
goodbye to old days

goodbye to old days
sealed, in Eve's bosom. Go now-
have a blessed day.

death of hopeless hearts
augurs new hope for the soul
deep down in love's vale
