When a train follow the waterline of a big lake or the sea, you sometimes feel as if the world is divided in two. On the right side of the train all is unchanged, the taiga provides no variation and you feel the calm of almost being stationary. On the other side, the train is gripping to the edge of water, you see the horizon, and being on the edge between safety and infinity, you realize that these are just the choice of any adventurer. My eyes trace the horizon, and I long for the unknown there beyond.
On the edge to the unknown I feel the longing for an eagle’s wings
Today the prompt in Carpe Diem is Ulan-Ude. On it’s way we have passed the lake Baikal and I thought a little bit of the feeling how it is to travel on the edge of a large water.

on the edge… I love it
You make me dream the longing to have an eagle’s wings in your haibun. It’s awesome!
really well-crafted haibun. I was telling Ese just how well the American sentences fit in your unique approach/genre. Here you gave it in classical style, the eagles wings, from where you can view the whole journey. The eagle, beauty and danger, and the three elements so carefully displayed in your haibun – earth, water, sky.
Thank you.. I just wonder if I have enough thoughts left for the train-ride… hmm nice with a pause today.
To be honest these last ones are going to force the best writing out of us – we have no other choice! Don’t forget Kristjaan is taking us through Japan soon also, some keep some in reserve!
Ah.. but then we will be leaving the train….
WOW that’s just so perfect ! 🙂
great haibun!
I love the idea of searching and reaching for the horizon and the adventure that awaits beyond. I think that is what makes travel so enticing! ♥
Another nice haibun with a wonderful american sentence to conclude it. By the way I have published a new episode of ‘little ones’ on our second weblog. it’s about american sentence …
Ah. I need to check..
Sure you have … and I have seen already that you were there
I realize I have missed where the other weblog is located… hmmm I have missed prompts…
Doesn’t matter … I am glad that you’ve find the way …:-)
