Day –26 — Haibun Journey Daily Thoughts — Dangling Leaf

I look out my studio window and see a dangling yellow leaf. It is hanging in a spiderweb, still struggling for freedom. It is stuck, but who knows for how long. Will it stay until it turns brown and crumbles or will it be wicked away with a strong breeze? That’s kind of how I feel today. My studio is a disaster from my latest work. Ideas are flowing but I’m struggling to get started. I really don’t want to take the time to clean, but I can’t move forward until I do. So right now I feel like I am stuck in that web, procrastinating, fluttering silently

midnight sky
no starlight shining
sound of crickets rise
