A snow calmed Christmas morn

I’m awake early
On this dark Christmas morning
The night calmed by snow


I hope each of you has a blessed and refreshing Christmas.

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

Days passing past me 

Daylight wanes for a few weeks 

Then the axis tilts

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
