Testament

Firm old man
Obstinate ways;
Will and testament


Lawyer consult
Due diligence;
Making a will


Retirement daze
So much to learn;
At my own pace


Human nature
To nurture;
Null and void


Means testing
Between old flames;
Wants and needs clash


Beauty greets
Truth is silent;
Love presides


Calm in chaos,
Stillness moves;
Cause and effect


Mindful knowing
Worldly ways;
No-thing fills void


Go beyond things
To unseen grace;
Herein is home


Learn to "Let Go"
See how you feel;
Embrace blissful rapture


Noise and conflict,
Opposing ideas;
Plunge into storm's eye!


Fatigue funnels
Body battery flat;
Deep sleep recharges


Echoes fade away
Dying day liberates;
Flight of night visions


Heavy eyelids
Boulders crashing;
Rejuvenation begins


There is a gap
In between takes;
Point of pure peace


Words like notes
Musical scales rhyme;
Poetic impulse


Conflict
Collision;
Cacophony


Tale for sale
Malt and ale;
Booze never fails


Wine culture
Red and white;
Sensory exfoliation


Hello
Small talk;
Goodbye


Listen
Rumour has it;
Be happy now


Rumour
Riot;
Reaping


Twilight and luna
Lunatic wiles;
Moon glow magnetic


At the end
Start again;
At the beginning


At the start
End again;
At the ending


Three simple lines
Touch of magic;
Haiku fragment


Good day
Good night
Goodbye
