Distant echoes play
Emotions raised from my past
Words obscured by time.

Today’s Haiku Challenge: Long
Critical to climb
Ascend to the greatest heights
Thus see the long view
My response to “Today’s @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word ‘long’ in it….” on Twitter.
Walking Memories: A Haiku
Reflect on myself
Walking upon these same streets
Changed and new blended.
Walking Memories
Walking upon old roads
My childhood feet trode.
Memories, feelings lurking
Forgotten flit forth, bird-like;
A flicker upon consciousness
Vanishing like morning fog
Leaving no trace save the
Dream-like phantom reflection
Of my youth.
A Spring Morning
Sunlight drifts on wind
Cool intensity floating
Flowers greet the morn
Soul’s Creation
Journeys create souls
Deepening our deepest depths
First step: send ourselves.
Meditation: Mastery
Impatience destroys quality;
Feeds the tyrrany of the “NOW”,
Raging inferno of immediate perfection.
Devaluing mastery’s glorious gifts.
Quality bears manifold delights
Ones lost upon our gone-in-a-blink minds.
We’ve lost something powerful,
Traded for empty consumer shells.
The sculptor’s calloused hands
Have no short-cut. Each nick,
Wear, rub of creation, crafting
Builds knowledge, deepest skills.
Mastery: quality can’t be bought
It must be earned with each step,
Journeying: critical. Motions,
Thousands, in summation: gestalt.

Nothing great ever happened by rigidly adhering to the status quo.
