Spring Morning (a haibun)


As I lie here on the grass on this crisp spring morning I listen to the birds chirping, to the train going by, to the people talking in the distance and the sound of the wind in my ears. The feeling of the grass under me; cold. The feeling of the sun on me; warm.The mix of these things; perfect. As I look around I see a sloping hill with trees bordering it. My teacher calling me in the distance; I go.

I love spring mornings
Peaceful the day warming up
Lying on the grass
