longing for beauty
Contrasting Cruelty and Beauty: A Morning Haiku
Cruelty is easy
Creating beauty? Hard work
This is my focus
Facing fear, putting it in its place
Fears can speak loudly
We must learn to not let them
Paralyze our will
My body wants to sleep, but not my mind
Now the night moves in
My body wanting to sleep
My mind resisting
An evening haiku
This night now ending
Time to calm my random thoughts
And embrace my rest
Seattle’s Smoke: A Haiku
A crescent moon
Tinted red by the wind’s
California remnants
Anxiety and Mindless Guilt
Our hearts torture us
Pronouncing us quite guilty
Anxiety’s cruel
Lovers of Violence
We love violence
Romance of the gunslinger
Murderous outlaws
This morning’s meditation
Circumstances speak
As I lay within my bed
Seeing life’s beauty
