This Evening’s Walk: A #Haiku

Walking this roadside

Deep within my mind’s silence

As the sunlight fades

Fears at Night: A Haiku

Fears rise in the dark
So many unknowns stare back
Fate can be quite cruel

A June Afternoon Haiku

Summer approaches

Spring time’s flowers are fading

The air is warmer

Saturday, June 1: Gratitude

Under this sunshine

Pondering fragility

And life’s strange graces


Such a strange week. Monday afternoon my son crashed his skateboard, ending up with a significant concussion and “mild” bleeding on the brain. Monday night & Tuesday were spent talking about many possible (and frightening) scenarios. Wednesday we’re talking about leaving and Thursday we made it home. Friday we joined some friends for dinner. Surreal, in the end.

Now, we only just started this journey. 45 minutes at dinner with friends exhausted him. He spent most this morning’s energy at our eye doctor’s simply getting glasses adjusted.

We’re home. His mind is mostly intact, and healing quickly. Doctors believe we’ll have 100% recovery. Looking at the possibilities, I feel deep gratitude. We escaped some brutal stuff. I’m grateful for that.

A Friday Night #Haiku

My son is sleeping

As night has taken over

This long week ending

Springtime Memories: A Haiku

The morning rain fell
Pulling the petals downwards
Springtime memories

A Spring Haiku

I glance to the sky

Momentarily pausing

Flowers on this breeze

A #Haiku For A Rainy #Seattle Night

Seattle’s nightfall
Raindrops fall upon the roof
With gentle calmness

A #Sunday Night #Haiku

Standing in the sun

Light dances on my shoulder

Stop to see beauty
