What if
What a silly beginning
What if nothing
But there’s always something
under the words
below the skin
where I still feel you
growing
to oblivion
What if
Come on
What if nothing
There’s only now
and pieces of the past
and thoughts about the future
Tomorrow is as far as I go
and I’m exaggerating
as every unit of time
advances towards infinity
even before tomorrow
What if nothing
Indeed
Free

What If - A Haiku Plus (6-6-6)
We live in the what if
and or the what was while
our life needs the what is

Pando
Pando may be the largest living organism on Earth. Thousands of years old even before Goddess Athena’s birth. ----- * A mantinada typically consists of a Cretan 15-syllable rhyming couplet. Mantinades is the plural. Make sure to watch the video below. It is mind-blowing : )

Deep thoughts in flowing stanzas. Well done with articulating the What ifs and What is.
