Living with purpose
With effectiveness and joy
A life worth living
Category: Modern Life
Remember that we have the power to pursue joy
Antidote to fear
Focus on the positive
Create your own joy
Resisting Rage’s Allure
I try to resist
Our culture’s lusting for rage
Focusing on light
A Monday Morning Haiku
This new day begins
Filled with opportunity
As the daylight grows
The Flower’s Voice
As summer begins
Plenty of sunshine and warmth
A flower’s voice heard
Awake Too Early
My relentless mind
In perpetual motion
Sleeping’s a challenge
Awake against my will
Dreaming of dreaming
Longing for slumber
The machinery of my mind
Psychological cogs churn and spin
Whirring hum of my soul
The Night Moves Now
The night moving now
It slides up, embracing me
A piano plays
They grow up so fast
My phone buzzes
A beautiful woman
Who I remember
In diapers
I feel joy
At the blessing
Of my simple
Witness
A Flower After The Rain
As the rain had passed
This flower’s glory shines forth
And then the light shifts
Why I love creating short form poetry
Short form poetry
I seek out life’s core essence
Light through a prism
