Poetry: Haiku

The world is quiet
Not an animal in sight
No wind, no sun, none

You listen for sound
The birds chirp a silent song
The grass doesn't sway

The world is so still
The sun does not rise or set
Are you the last one?

Suddenly, panic
You run, looking for someone
There is only one

You. Terror sets in
As for once, the world does wait
As you wait for fate

Is this really life?
Can tranquility be bad?
Can sadness be had

In the most peaceful
Moment, yet there's no one to
Share it with. Worthless.

    that lights up the darkness soon
    after the sundown

    wintry breezes,
    that chills to below zero
    why this winter

    Beauty is a trap
    With jaws open to fool us
    Through its devious smile.

    Beauty in the night
    Monlight on the garden path
    Ethereal

    On my evening walks.

    Shrilling of cicadas
    drowns out the soothing surf
    of freeway traffic.

    In the moonlight
    the soccer field
