8 HAIKUS:
*
Everything began
An expanding point in time
So once all was here
**
That stone cast last year
Yet bypassing time ripples
Unseen will be felt.
***
Memory, a Byte
Pixels failing bit by bit
The thin timeline.
** **
That tall old tree which
Saw more springs than all countries
Was torn by a bomb.
** * **
Tiny virus, as
Tiny as humans compared
To the blazing Sun.
*** ***
Paper time machines
With scents of roses dried in
Nineteen eighty-three.
*** * ***
Time is no matter
Of atoms, stars, or planets
It is made of hope.
**** ****
Not the last to die
Among us, hope and time are
The first to be born
