drifting-sands-haibun, 2024

Going With the Flow 

The river wind slows me down halfway through. I am trying not to resist whatever comes to my head; random thoughts, vivid memories, humming sounds, and musty smells. I want to clear my mind before I get back home, no matter how long it takes. I let my brown hair sway in the air and even stroke my face with its split ends. I am aware of my surroundings and myself as well. It’s a bit hard but relaxing to go beyond my comfort zone. But, it’s worth it to experience the “here and now,” grasp the moments that are unique and unusual in many ways.
