Where will I find home? 

May 24, 2018 Carl Setzer

​Seeking the place where the mountains meet the sky 

Where water rises to my feet and the sun warms 

My bare feet resting wrapped in the sand

A Haiku As I Listen To Music This Evening 

May 10, 2018 Carl Setzer1 Comment

Such tranquil music
Carrying my soul skyward
Glorious nighttime

May you might be restful and you awake rejuvenated.

The sun is now up
It’s time to change the world
You are important

There’s so much work to be done to make this world kinder, just and equitable.

Germs are creeping up on me this evening 

May 4, 2018 Carl Setzer

Sitting in darkness
Dreams crowding my awareness
My germs arguing 

Yeah, I’m feeling germs creeping up. Coughing. Sigh. 

Hopefully, a good night’s rest will reset me.

Why do villains laugh?

April 29, 2018 Carl Setzer

Something I’ve wondred.
Why do villains always laugh?
A puzzling thing

A Restless Night 

April 27, 2018 Carl Setzer

Dreaming I’m awake
My own mind is sadistic
Now dawn approaches 

Not feeling too well rested today. Ugh!

Happy Friday, everyone.

I Delight In White Noise 

April 10, 2018 Carl Setzer

White noise’s beauty 

Hiding the fearful silence 

This mountain of sand 

Sometimes I find it hard to sleep in deep silence. Perhaps it’s the urbanite within me. I find comfort in sound. But would I find peace within the raucousness of the jungle?
