This is my challenge
Stare inwards free of judgement
Embrace compassion

The dream fades
Lightness
Upon the
Summer breeze
Now an echo
Of a forgotten
Dream
Daily Haiku: Awoke By My Fears
Awoke by my fears
Not an unusual thing
Though I’ve grown weary
I’ve long hated my mind’s tendency to torment me late at night. Bringing up ancient mistakes, dragging forth unlikely scenarios, so many ways my mind finds to attack my tranquility.
Germs are in controlĀ
Germs are in control
Obediently I sleep
Rest eluding me
Ah, fighting germs again. A slow lingering cough my main symptom, a long with my lack of energy.
My Journals, My Heart
It pains me
Envisioning my journals
Beloved words capturing my soul
Mouldering in my absence
As I fade to dust
A snow calmed Christmas morn
I’m awake early
On this dark Christmas morning
The night calmed by snow
I hope each of you has a blessed and refreshing Christmas.
Awake, Far Too Early: A Brief PoemĀ
āFar too early
To be awake.
Echoes in my mind
Haunting my dreams
This Painful Evening
āOver fifty-years
Living on this
Spinning rock
Yet moments come
When, still,
That powerless
Little boy
Rises
Alone
A #Haiku from the Space Needle
Rivers of gold light
Flowing across this city
Blessings of darkness
The Solstice Approaches
Days passing past me
Daylight wanes for a few weeks
Then the axis tilts
