Christmas Journey Haikus

Loneliness beckoned

I chose a path less travelled

My wildling child free

Plodding on mere dust

My feet scattered pebbles loose

Mountains high I’d crossed

Christmas evening

Sanguine clouds painting sky red

Drains to lifeless grey

Upon a clearing

Swept clean by a windblown branch

Memories far gone

Empty boulevard

The trees stand stately and tall

Stills my silent night

Antarctic winds brace

As did my shirt collar white

My hearthside alight

Distant crowds cheering

Children afar play and scream

Abridging divide

Bounding home on dark

Over the river of stars

Night lanterns burning.

Cheung-Ling Wong
