Awake Too Early

​My relentless mind 

In perpetual motion 

Sleeping’s a challenge 

Awake against my will

Dreaming of dreaming 

Longing for slumber 

The machinery of my mind 

Psychological cogs churn and spin 

Whirring hum of my soul 

A Haiku As I Listen To Music This Evening 

Such tranquil music
Carrying my soul skyward
Glorious nighttime

May you might be restful and you awake rejuvenated. 

An evening haiku 

Night is glorious
Calm tranquility reigning
Blossoms in moonlight 

Good night dear friends. May it be restful and rejuvenating. 


A first thought this early morn 

​A gentle breeze blows 

Branches scrape against my house 

This brusque goose-like cry

Startles me abruptly
