Daily Haiku – Page 109 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Fighting against negativity

Dark, evil thinking,
Creating anguish within;
I shall be sunlight

Logic is empty
Without emotion’s driving
Towards decisions

Journeying these streets
This tiny northern city
Gentle waves on stones

A meditation during my wanderings today.

Rage at the moment
Fluttering away like air;
Tragedy’s horror

Finding myself trapped
The past remains within
Hindering progress

Woke from a nightmare
Dreams of death and resistance
To birdsong outside

I find it painful
At the end of busyness
Nothing accomplished

Dusk fades to darkness
Today’s manic striving ends
A respite until dawn

It is not yet dawn
Life begins manic stirrings
Night’s calm succumbing

Fighting this illness
Wheezing more than I can stand
Rainfall comforts me
