Camping Rituals: A Haiku Collection

My dear, spry Robin
perched between natures door-way
plucky little thing


Gather ‘round tree-stumps
we perform the rite of dreams
beneath falling stars


Moonbeams kiss where Sun-
beams fade. we pass through Twilights
hour, hands tightly entwined


I reach for your warmth
your dreamless mumbles tickle
the back of my neck


We cannot help but
giggle at the company
of strangers’ kindness


Off the beaten track
we find paths that lead nowhere
yet everywhere, both


Beckoned, by sacred
denizens of the woodlands
leave no trace behind
