Focus on Love

Choosing direction
May sometimes be a challenge
Please focus on love

Spring rides the starlight

Evening has arrived
Listening to classic jazz
Spring rides the starlight

Relearning to Dream Boldly

p style=”font-family:"”>To dream boldly

p style=”font-family:"”>In the night’s sky

p style=”font-family:"”>Gaze upon Orion’s belt

Faith’s Srength: A Haiku 

Carl Setzer

Faith’s strength comes from trust 

Belief in benevolent

Energies driving 

Beginnings, Endings

Carl Setzer

Beginnings moving

Forwards towards middles, motion

Ends; begin anew

This Seattle Night, A Haiku

Rainfall’s insistence

Tapping upon my rooftop

This Seattle night 

Monday Thought

Carl Setzer

Here’s a positive way to look at Mondays.

And, if you have no mistakes from last week to clean up, then it’s a great day to set a productive rhythm.

A Sunday Meditation

Camp Gwinwood Cross

Sunlight piercing leaves
A rough hewn cross pulls my eyes
Birds break my thoughts

When I am an old man

Carl Setzer

When I am an old man
I will be gentle, wise and kind.
Full of delight and wonder.
The lover of all who smile.

I shall drink coffee with my friends
Watching the glories of youth
Drift by, unaware that I will
Capture their grace, embellish
It with verse, releasing a poem.

Beautiful birds dancing upon light,
Forever elegant ambassadors of life.
