Kashiana Singh - Unknowing

Kashiana Singh closes out our year here at The Dewdrop with simplicity, wisdom, and quietude with her string of haiku, “Unknowing”. Each haiku of “Unknowing” forms a self-contained harbor of serenity, each a vivid scene to settle into for a time to breathe easy. Kashiana told The Dewdrop, “Haiku serves as a vehicle to transcend personal limitations and step through language into a global situation.”

Unknowing

sleep regression
grandchild befriends
sleeping Buddha

love letter
my grandson asks
for farm sounds

windowsill
his ashes scattered
beneath cypress

after-rain
hide and seek
of foliage

miniature voices
grandson mimics
mine

crisp breeze
I wear a shawl
of memories

marigold leaves
wilting at his feet
holy altar

mirage
a pilgrim walks
back home

sapling green
grief grows deep
roots
