There’s so much despair
We can fail to see beauty
The colors of dawn

Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.
My body wants to sleep, but not my mind
Now the night moves in
My body wanting to sleep
My mind resisting
Sunset: A Haiku
This day moved by fast
Sunrise becoming sunset
Orange horizon
A Monday fearĀ
Nervousness wakes me
A meeting with high pressure
I’m lacking self-trust
An evening haiku
This night now ending
Time to calm my random thoughts
And embrace my rest
Resisting the night
Darkness holds its own
Rest is deceptively hard
The street-light’s ally
A Haiku Tribute To Aretha Franklin
“Aretha Franklin”
I honor her by saying
She’s earned my RESPECT
Aretha Franklin Sang Her Way Through America’s History. Her Passing Is the End of an Era
The Passage of Heartbeats
Each moment passing
Fading into memory
Waiting on sunlight
In a VW Van
On the edge of sleep
I’m dreaming of road journeys
In a VW van
*pronounce Vee Dub.
A long day done
Though not inspired
Only feeling weariness
Force myself to write
