haiku – Page 139 – Word Shaper

My Morning Meditation

I sit in darkness
Concentrating on my breath
Focusing my mind

Springtime manifests
Facing down Seattle’s rain
Soon the blossoms fade

A friend and daughter
The gentle kiss upon her head
Witnessing sweetness

We love violence
Romance of the gunslinger
Murderous outlaws

Circumstances speak

As I lay within my bed

Seeing life’s beauty

Upon the spring breeze
Birds dancing gracefully skyward
The sunlit swallow

Haiku - Faceless

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

Violence glorified?
I’m seeking the path forward
Away from despair

This day’s distractions
So now I seek clarity;
Facets of my life

Days like this make me weary. Most of my plans failed to launch. Yet I got stuff done. So, there’s that.

Every day I strive
To gain wisdom and to grow
Leave this world better
