Unanswered questions
Drift into the twilight
Snowflakes on a breeze
Looking for their own answers
I #smile my #goodbye

Truth about endings:
Any moment could be one.
They slip past unseen.

The wheel keeps turning
no #endings, no #beginnings

Sun’s up on new dawn
Three-hundred sixty-five days
To find new balance

#DailyHaikuPrompt - Jan. 1/25 - beginnings

A new beginning,
a fresh leaf, a chance to make
a better ending.

#DailyHaikuPrompt #beginning

Ending’s beginning,
Ending leads to a fresh start,
Leave the heart open.

The old cycle ends
A softer more flowing way
A new beginning
