Tonight’s Haiku: Buds Become Blossoms
A new testament
The hand of God drifting through
Buds become blossoms
Fathers, Daughters, and Snapshots of Beauty
A friend and daughter
The gentle kiss upon her head
Witnessing sweetness
Dancing Upon The Spring Breeze
Upon the spring breeze
Birds dancing gracefully skyward
The sunlit swallow
Standing against violence
Violence glorified?
I’m seeking the path forward
Away from despair
Listening to Fear
Fear has great wisdom
Face it boldly and head-on
Always stay mindful

As we push ourselves outside our “comfort zone”, fear holds sway. Listen to it, see what it’s trying to say, look for truth. Is there something real to be afraid of, or is it the unknown, the simple possibility of failure? When you’ve done such, answers tend you be intuitively obvious.
Sunlight Rising
A moth fluttering
Upon the grass stalks
The rising sunlight
Spring’s Blossoms Appear
Today’s work commands
My focus and energy
Spring’s blossoms appear
There’s so much greed for my attention. It’s easy to get lost within it all, losing sight of the important things. I strive to step out of that mental swirl, too see the world around me. What about you?
Waking Early To Rain
Rain marching downwards
Gravity’s relentless draw
Early morning thoughts
Defining “Vermin”
Why do we loathe such
These creatures that adapt well
To our wastefulness
Squirrels, rats, myriad insects, and so many other creatures that have adapted well to living in the shadow of humanity. These we loathe, finding beauty in those struggling to find a place in the world we’re rapidly changing.
