Heat dissipates in waves. Sweat turns cold and clammy. I stretch muscles that are stiffening. Already aching with exercise pain. My mind echo with the song I’ve just danced the happy Jive to. Suffused with the endorphins a good workout gives, it’s calm and at peace. Outside the window the full moon rises over the treetops.
In the silver light
Thoughts swirl like moths round and round
Time to say goodnight

Written for tonight’s Haibun prompt over at dVerse.
I noted the full moon outside before, and reflected that when the next full moon is visible it will too much daylight to see it before it’s time to go to bed.
On the other hand it might be visible for the early risers. :-)
Nice one
Happy Monday
Much💛love
Thank you!
Oh, there aren’t enough O’s in smoooooooth to adequately define this outstanding work. Thanks.
Thank you! ❤️
Well done!
Thank you!
A perfect end to a healthy, satisfying day. Lovely haibun, Helene.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I usually get less sleepy by writing after training, but focusing on how I felt just then worked in the opposite way.
You’re very welcome, Helene.
This is just lovely, Helene.
By the way, you may have a tiny typo in this line: “My mind echo with the song”

Thank you! ❤️
It should be echoes I guess? I’m starting to believe I need a proofreader, or at least a word processor with better grammar than Google Docs.
Beautiful and calm. <3
Thank you! ❤️
A happy, peaceful moment. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! ❤️
It was good for me to get a reminder of being present in the moment.
A nice capture of your endorphin moment, Helene! I wish I could do that kind of exercise. I was looking at the moon last night too. I love the haiku, especially ‘thoughts swirl like moths round and round’.
Thank you Kim! ❤️
I’m forever grateful to have found my way back to dancing and hope I’ll be able to do it for many years more.
And my thoughts especially content, tiredly looking at the moon tend to flutter all over the place.
You describe physical release after working the body beautifully in this haibun …. well done.
Thank you! ❤️
Lovely. That after workout calm in itself is a reward🙂. I love, “Thoughts swirl like moths round and round”.
