Perhaps they prefer
Victims to remain Faceless
I’m resisting such
poetry, prose, and photography

Perhaps they prefer
Victims to remain Faceless
I’m resisting such

Violence glorified?
I’m seeking the path forward
Away from despair
Sunlight’s debuting
Early morning darkness fades
Sounds of spring arise
Watching the dawn inch forward inspired this haiku. I anthropomorphise the sun, imagining pride and delight as humanity stirs underneath the reborn warmth. Perhaps there’s even love for us as we reawaken our striving.
So, here’s to a new day, it’s blessed possibilities, and all the potential you bring.
​
I watch a hummingbird
And wonder about time
Are we only allowed
A specific number
Of heartbeats?
Sunlight’s holding back
Eastern mountains soon will glow
As this day begins
