Morning Haiku and Waka – February 15, 2015

Posted on February 15, 2015 by Georgia

this tree
just a vision
I dreamed
this morning

oniric garden
wingless flight in boundless skies
fire-birds fly

gardener of sleep
dream weaver works day and night
creating new worlds

what is reality
this lucid dream of here and now
or lucid night worlds

This first video was made many years ago … and below is our pianist in 2010 for his 85th birthday … he plays the same wonderful piece … He left us on the first of February this year.

that August evening
from infinity to “now”
you entered my dreams
accompanied by Satie
thus you were born my dear son

I’m *finally* back from a month wandering rural India without (mostly) network connections. But I’m in luck—not only Bastet Haiku and Waka but Satie, one of my favorite composers ever. I should probably go back to bed because there’s no way for this day to get better!

  Ah … your honeyed pen has made me nearly swoon! Happy you’re safely back from rural India (envy!!!) my dear and I’m so happy you enjoyed the post … a mix: a tribute to Aldo Ciccolini (I love how he played Satie) and my morning haiku and waka! Thanks so much for dropping by this morning … it is I who’ll have to go back to bed to be sure that this wasn’t just part of a dream 😉

What beauty cara those lucid dreams can be too perfect to be reality and to be accompanied by such melodies… Ivory keys played by angels.

This music is fantastic! It makes me want to put on pink ballet shoes, a gossamer skirt, and dance for hours and hours, in an empty studio with huge windows. Incredible. Thank you so much for this amazing music and your wonderful poems.

  Thanks dear … I don’t know who caught that last ku after the two versions of Satie … My kiddo was born at home … and I was “listening” to various versions of Satie when he was born … the haiku was for the Kiddo.

    Makes it difficult to lose the dream weaver — those memories intertwined with your love of your son.
    
    Happy train catching 🙂

        I had week three done for the Rose … but had to do the bench scene – yeech I do no like that photo! I’m sure the muse will have been wonderful!

        Oh, I forgot that you’ve been doing two versions for One Four. Yikes!
        
        The bench scene isn’t bad, Georgia — it’s just that it has a tough act to follow with that rose. 🙂 Still I understand – some photos are so tough to improve on or alter….

        You know, I put this one up because I was afraid the other was too simple and wouldn’t be able to make 4 edits … how ironic that it’s this one that’s causing me headaches! Thanks for your sympathy.

A lovely post – both words and music. I’m particularly taken with the ‘gardener of sleep’, which isn’t an image I’ve come across before and which manages to seem both natural and unexpected 🙂
