Monday’s pain now past
The other days have blurred by
Now Friday is here

A monsoon-like rain squall
​In the morning dark
Intense rain’s forceful pounding
Rattling gutters
I awoke this morning to an intense downpour. More like the Philippines or Florida than Seattle.
Evening LighteningÂ
Flickering briefly
Lightning burns across the sky
Jagged movements blur
Updated: spell check got me, changing “lightning” to “lightening”
Strangeness surrounds us
Strangeness surrounds us
So much unbelievable
Such a crazy life
Busyness
​Mindless reaction
Chasing after to-dos
Lost within motion
Zen Mediation
As the mind quiets
The sound of nothing roaring
Emptiness fills me
Thinking about Sanity
Confusion masses
Up against the edge of mind
Sanity a mess
Cherry Blossoms
Hanafubuki
Cherry blossom snow falling
This gentle spring breeze
Creation’s Firey Song
Within us echoes
Of creation’s firey song
Spring’s ruminations
Oh Technology: A Haiku
To the new we switch
Oh, then a technology glitch
For the past we’ll itch
