Lion Hearted

Carl Setzer

A fierceness within

Combining with dignity

The King of Narnia

Resisting Fear

Carl Setzer

Facing down my fears

Resisting despair’s summons

Living by my terms

This Summer’s Morning 

Carl Setzer

​Awoke by the rooster’s call

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Train horn echoing miles to me 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>White noise from cars

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Hurtling down the freeway 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Birds speaking much as they have 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>For millennia uncounted 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>A look into the boundaries 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Of infinity 

Innocence 

Carl Setzer

Innocence’s core 

Deep into the abyss 

Consumed by our longing 

Willing sold for love 

A fair trade?

Abandoning All We Are

Carl Setzer4 Comments

Abandon all that we are
So we can become
All that we might be 

I see myself trapped by my past, by the barriers erected from fear, insecurity and doubt. “Grow past them…” I counsel myself. “Push past them. They are but vapor, illusion, less real than the dreams. Dreams create! So I shall focus on them. 


Heart of Stone

Carl Setzer

Her heart of stone
Sedimentary rock
Made of pressure
Upon layers of
Heartache and
Pain 

My Mission Statement

Carl Setzer

 


My mission in life

Make cool dreams reality

Defeat resistance

 

I had fun crafting this. Seems appropriate to have a haiku as a mission statement. 

A Cold Overnight 

Carl Setzer

Each cough 

Self conscious

Creating disturbance 

Where peace 

Should reign 

And then think 

Of the germs 

Launched forth 

Looking for a 

New host.
