Rainfall’s insistence
Tapping upon my rooftop
This Seattle night

An early morning meditation
The doom of choosing
I’m afraid of being wrong
Predawn tree’s stillness
Waking Early To Rain
Rain marching downwards
Gravity’s relentless draw
Early morning thoughts
Seeing the Birds of Spring
Compassion and grace
Linked together as they loop
Spring’s birds appearing
This Day Begins: A Haiku
Sunlight’s holding back
Eastern mountains soon will glow
As this day begins
Please See Your Beauty
Please see your beauty
Grace flowing fast from your soul
With the snow falling
LISTENING To MusicÂ
As youth I chose
To deeply explore music
Each word critical
Music is critical to me. For my teenage years, I focused my study there. Well, as best as I could focus at that age. Music means so very much to me. Understanding the way lyrics, melody and harmony intersect for the good of the story carried great value.
I seek to recapture that. Spent some time this morning enjoying it again. Until life’s demands intruded. Soon, I’ll return. These delights critical to my soul.

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.
