Haibun: Shiftings

Sometimes, in the desert, the dust blows over what the sun has bleached. Sometimes, with age, my body that brought so much adventure now takes days just to recover from a sleepless night. The spryness of youth and the deep wells of hope that youth brings gives way to the focus of not having much more time to do big things. The sands of time shift around and give new meanings to the landscapes of life.

edges that will hurt, jagged
