Hour 06 – Haibun

The Beauty of the Bonsai


Family trees may bear much fruit yet some branches never get to grow. We must face occasionally the mortality of youth. The loss scars bark and molds form. We cherish every leaf and find the blooming flowers still as sweet, though watered with our eyes.

empty heart still beats
bare branches cry out in vain
silent teardrops fall
