Early in the day
Witnessing such suffering
A surreal day

Good Morning: A Haiku 

Brutal wakefulness
Abrupt, electronic noise
Reality’s grasp



Between fans blowing, my phone pinging, and alarms chiming, my morning is filled with racket. 

A Haiku About Cold Meds 

Cold meds bring me gifts

Drowsiness which slows me down

So hard to wake up 

Loving Vincent: A Haiku & A Trailer

The life of Van Gogh

Seeking Out Success

Seeking out my strengths
Align my life for success
Pursuing my dreams


So much of my life wasted with fear and insecurity. No longer will they dominate my life. I will continue to seek out purpose and tranquility.

Be Yourself

Often sleep damaged
When we try to cram our souls
Into other forms


Life is hard enough without trying to force ourselves into something we’re not. Finding a place of deep love and compassion for ourselves is a key step to everything peace and tranquility.
