Distant echoes play
Emotions raised from my past
Words obscured by time.

Insecurities
Flickering across my mind
Sleep brutalized
Today’s Haiku Challenge: Long
Critical to climb
Ascend to the greatest heights
Thus see the long view
My response to “Today’s @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word ‘long’ in it….” on Twitter.
Soul’s Creation
Journeys create souls
Deepening our deepest depths
First step: send ourselves.
Childhood’s Collapse
Daily decay’s
Raging presence
Death’s fragrance
Fills me deeply.
Then that morning’s
Ragged breathing,
Brutal truth of
Impending silence.
Thanks
My great readership
Creates in me happiness
Delight in sharing
Flowing
Force directing things
Little impedes progress
Thus motion, nearly continuous,
Captures my attention
Pulls me close
I cannot escape the
Pleading gaze
My choices speak
To life’s future
Me.
Compassion’s Call
Compassion’s call loud
At the center of my life
Spring’s gentle rains calm
And Finally Sunday
This day of resting
Rejuvenating our beings
Again preparing
Saturday Calls
Outside beckoning
Summoning us towards action
Joyous rigors: life
