Awake, Far Too Early: A Brief Poem 

​Far too early 

To be awake.

Echoes in my mind 

Haunting my dreams 

This Painful Evening

Over fifty-years 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Living on this

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Spinning rock

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Yet moments come

<

p style=”font-family:"”>When, still,

<

p style=”font-family:"”>That powerless

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Little boy

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Rises 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Alone

A #Haiku from the Space Needle

Rivers of gold light
Flowing across this city
Blessings of darkness

The Solstice Approaches

Days passing past me 

Daylight wanes for a few weeks 

Then the axis tilts

Today’s Quote of the Day from Audrey Hepburn

I adore Ms. Hepburn and find her captivating. Her life is my definition of class and elegance.

 

Horrible News

Early in the day
Witnessing such suffering
A surreal day


 

The Amtrak derailment about 60 miles south of me dominated the news, and my awareness yesterday. 

Good Morning: A Haiku 

Brutal wakefulness
Abrupt, electronic noise
Reality’s grasp



Between fans blowing, my phone pinging, and alarms chiming, my morning is filled with racket. 

Today’s Haiku: Lost Within My Thoughrs


Lost within my thoughts

May the dark consume me now 

Joys hidden from view

A Moral Compass

Easy to get lost
Gazing into the future
If the compass lost

Monday Motivation: Start The Week Right

I continuously need to recharge the positive side of my life. There’s so much negativity, which wears me done.

I appreciate this reminder to be bold, to have the courage to ask. Asking not only displays your desire, but also holds you accountable. Others now know your dreams, and, if they’re invested in your success, will hold you to your goals. Which is critical for attaining those goals, those dreams.

May your Monday be effective and affirming. And may your Christmas shopping be free of conflict and aggravation.
