Haiku Chain


Shades of Night


Lights of urban streets

Glow to show the journey home

For the latecomers


Restless eyes open

Darkness shows time for sleeping

But alertness wins


Shadows abound here

In the silence of the night

Through the light's soft glow


The birds roost and sleep

But early hours waken them

And their new day starts


The gulls never sleep

Screeching, they are calling through

Muted dreamless skies


The velvet shades flow

From the evening to the dawn

Where they melt away.
