Fathers, Daughters, and Snapshots of Beauty

A friend and daughter
The gentle kiss upon her head
Witnessing sweetness

A Meditation On Artifical Intelligence

Today I wonder
As I consider AI
And our species’ drives;
Is our long-term legacy
Organic or digital?

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 

Dancing Upon The Spring Breeze

Upon the spring breeze
Birds dancing gracefully skyward
The sunlit swallow

Memories Unbidden 

Edvard Munch's
Edvard Munch’s “Melancholy”

Memories come
Unbidden

Ghosts of my youth
Painful moments

Choices I’ve made
But not understood

There’s wisdom there
Not just misery

Forgive the boy
That I was

And see inside
My heart

Now I understand
My internalized mind

Echoes of fears and failures
This early spring morn

Facelessness: A Haiku

Haiku - Faceless

Perhaps they prefer
Victims to remain Faceless
I’m resisting such

Standing against violence

Violence glorified?
I’m seeking the path forward
Away from despair

A Day Of Distractions

This day’s distractions
So now I seek clarity;
Facets of my life

Days like this make me weary. Most of my plans failed to launch. Yet I got stuff done. So, there’s that. 

Dreadful thoughts from a young mind
