Haiku

In Motion

Carl SetzerLeave a comment

​Dreams of motion 

Cars and vans, across deserts 

Sunlight’s glaring strength 

The forces of life drive hard 

Each day waking 

I’m the same bed

With different views 

Outside this glass

Wheels sparkle in the day 

Transitions happen 

Do not give into fear

​Do not give in to fear

Each step of acquiesce

Feeds the beast

Growing it

Face it down!

Demand it sit

Then lay down

Into the dirt

Acknowledging

Your power

Forward Motion

​It’s always time 

For forward motion

To step away from my past

Into my future

As the present fades

Into dust 

Seattle’s Smokestorm: A Haiku

This summer’s fires

I’ve grown weary of the bad air

Longing for autumn

It’s been a challenging summer for us Seattleites. Especially though with any kind of respiratory issues. Really looking forward to the relief autumn is promising.

As one stares upwards

Admiring ornate art

Expressions in stone

 

Another image found on Bing (it’s from this website. Really interesting work).

I’ve long admire such stonework. The craftsmanship is exquisite, but I’m even more impressed by the mind the conceived it.

Beauty Within Destruction

In the smoke
I see beauty within
Destruction

The Seattle area has been suffering with unhealthy accounts of smoke. First from California, then from British Columbia. 

At dawn and dusk the sun has been this bold orange/red. Stunningly beautiful, juxtaposed against the monumental destruction weight by those fires.
