Awakened by
Voices of early risers
Small children
With big voices
So much
Personality
They occupy
Far more space
Than their bodies
Would belie

Lion Hearted
A fierceness within
Combining with dignity
The King of Narnia
Resisting Fear
Facing down my fears
Resisting despair’s summons
Living by my terms
This Summer’s Morning
Awoke by the rooster’s call
Train horn echoing miles to me
White noise from cars
Hurtling down the freeway
Birds speaking much as they have
For millennia uncounted
A look into the boundaries
Of infinity
Innocence
Innocence’s core
Deep into the abyss
Consumed by our longing
Willing sold for love
A fair trade?
Thoughts about my life
Focused on kindness
A legacy for my mother
Changing the world
Abandoning All We Are
Abandon all that we are
So we can become
All that we might be
I see myself trapped by my past, by the barriers erected from fear, insecurity and doubt. “Grow past them…” I counsel myself. “Push past them. They are but vapor, illusion, less real than the dreams. Dreams create! So I shall focus on them.
Interdependence
Interdependence:
Celebrate independence
But there’s so much more
Heart of Stone
Her heart of stone
Sedimentary rock
Made of pressure
Upon layers of
Heartache and
Pain
My Mission Statement
My mission in life
Make cool dreams reality
Defeat resistance
I had fun crafting this. Seems appropriate to have a haiku as a mission statement.
