ten words to describe them:
forgetful, quiet, curious, yearnful, solitary, watchful, observant, cautious, sensitive, gentle
haiku:
Silent, ashen world,
new hope brings new growth, fauna,
these hands reach outward
freeline:
this ashen world empty and silent,
all seemed forgotten,
my life was in ruin if not for the ancient tree of life,
that graciously saved me,
wrapping me in its roots,
planting the seeds of new hope,
one life ends and another starts,
a kodama left to explore,
the remains of the ashen world,
a mask it dons for it is what it has left,
the planted seeds slowly growing new life upon itself,
a new light brings forth curiosity and caution,
unremembering of what the world once was it takes the plunge,
yearning for a new life,
in a new place with life,
the sunlight so bright,
the dewdrops blinding jewels,
the tree spirit watches,
observing the newfound life of the new world that breathes,
sensing spirits and other life it observes with a watchful eye,
silent and unseen a distance away,
yearning for the spirit and mortal companionship,
a child calls out to it,
the mockery in it's tone,
the sadness blooms as the spirit slips away,
to a secluding meadow,
it's sensitivity allowing tears flow,
gently it lays amongst the flowers,
tears fall and the meadow reaches out,
gently it cradles the kodama sad and lost,
a lullaby it sings as it falls to sleep,
the growing life on it's body grows and begins to bloom,
for in it's outreaching paws it brings new life.
The kodama awakens once more,
to the dazzling stars and the gentle moon,
the bed of flowers aglow,
curiously it reaches and gently caresses the leaves of a bush,
and with it's touch the leaves begin to glow,
it's heart warm and aflutter,
a whisper in the air,
beckoning for song,
the kodama arises and begins to dance,
each step and touch making the meadow aglow,
painting out a paradise that the heavens above can love,
and with a clear voice a song rings forth,
singing songs of love and yearning,
of life and new hope and a promise,
to stay true as they were,
a song that echoes who they once were,
a song of who they are now,
a masked performance for the night and the wandering,
who stumbled upon,
the kodama from the ashen world.
