Notes About The Poem
Captivitated by the ocean and the sunrises..Time stood still for a few minutes each day...

Enigma of Time

Arriving there, open door to floors bare
Moist was air, dwelling effusive with peace
The enigma of time began to cease
Oblivion to all but ocean, just stare

Simplicity for a few days; nowhere
To go, timeless, watch Gulls instead of Geese
Yesterday's ravenous problems release
Now live on sublime seaside oasis' air

Aster, Willow won't sway in zephyr this day
Only kaleidoscope color 'pon water shone
Exquisite view for me, myself, alone
This ecstasy delight not auspice by they

Lilac, Lily doesn't bloom, chrome rust away
Impervious bug repellent glistens in defiant stone

Ooh Sara, I want to see them! I've only been in aspen territory in the summer. Except for in Dec.78. And I didn't know what aspens were back then. I was looking at sequoias, that trip. And a stormy trip it was. I can only imagine a winter yellowing of wispy needles. What a lovely haiku you have written. I bet they are beautiful in the winter. Thanks for sharing. Lovingly, Dane
