824 - Before


Haiku Horizons has the prompt “Before”.

Have we met before?
In another life, perhaps?
Welcome back, my friend.


Before time began
There was only a dark void—
Time creates clutter.


Before now was then.
Beyond now is vaguely when.
Now is all there is.


Before you depart
Set your accounts in order.
Leave with no regrets.
