Daytime Memories

December 11, 2017 Carl Setzer1 Comment

Sunlight has climbed out
The forces of daytime surge
Hints of blessed nights

Be Yourself

December 6, 2017 Carl Setzer

Often sleep damaged
When we try to cram our souls
Into other forms


Life is hard enough without trying to force ourselves into something we’re not. Finding a place of deep love and compassion for ourselves is a key step to everything peace and tranquility.

Clear, Cold Nights

December 5, 2017 Carl Setzer1 Comment

Autumn’s air quite cool
Clear nights bring frost to my car
And these nights are long

Negative Self-Talk

November 28, 2017 Carl Setzer

Awake in the night
Fear whispering in my ear
White noise of deceit

Dreams of the open road

November 26, 2017 Carl Setzer

Once I dreamt 

Of the open road’s

Mysteries and delights

Envisioning freedom

And escape, adventures

The discovery of myself

Now I see

Cold nights 

Buried in blankets

Fog inside on windows

Surf’s call outside and loud

Leaving

November 17, 2017 Carl Setzer

At this moment 

Your fingers release my shoulder 

You fade into mist

Alive at Night

November 14, 2017 Carl Setzer

Moments of beauty
Senses alive with delight Embracing darkness


Embrace the darkness, but don’t let it consume you. Find the firey warmth of your heart.

A Tuesday Morning Haiku

An Unconventional Life

November 12, 2017 Carl Setzer

My life’s been lived

At a right-angle 

To reality



I’ve always valued originality over all else.
