Beijing, An Attempted Haiku

Temples and hutongs
dragons and people abound.
Tea an oasis.

Our Rentrée

And then, just before we reach
the summit of our low climb,
the sweeping searchlight of
the Eiffel Tower signals our
return in the bright night sky.

We're home.
Holiday's over.
Back to work.

A Promise of Blueness

A clear blue sky.
Promise,
of a smooth ride ahead.
Everything seems
even more beautiful
than it is.

Clouds will come.
But the clear blueness
convinces us that
the mere drizzle will
just wash away
dust and dirt.

The storms of the past
to refreshing showers
reduced.
The blue clearness covers
and heals the wounds.

Life is great on the day
we are greeted by
the clear blue sky.
We enjoy it.
We cherish it.
We live it.

And we should.

From the driver's seat I watch 
the autumn coloured Schwarzwaldlandscape
glide past.

Suddenly I understand the
never imagined, hidden beauty
of red, yellow and black

Only 504 Kilometers Between Us

Darkness falls over the péage
As I head North.
Every roadmark tells me
I am moving further
away from you.

But each passing minute brings
the moment I see you again
closer.

Thunder Rolling In

We ignored
that sound before, thunder
approaching, and paid a heavy price.
Never again! Empty
rhetoric?
