“The Word’s Haiku”
        I
The words do flicker
Distantly as weakening,
Fading, candle glow.
        II
Within my shadows
They abide among darkness,
Redundant as I
        III
Extend out, rescue
A composition from the
Enveloping black,
        IV
Lay down tenderly 
Upon matter, so as to
Reconcile my mind!
        V
The satisfaction
Of reflection on paper,
Meaning upon life!
