As I now lay here
The night’s silence calming me
My brain is active

On the Ganges’ Banks
In my mind’s eye
On the Ganges banks
Sunlight rises from the east
Comparative silence
As the city returns to life
A Rainy Day In Seattle: Today’s Haiku
Another grey day
Rainfall has moistened the ground
Watching memories
It’s feels very much like September this morning. The ground is damp from overnight rain. I great the crows debating their aviary issues of the day.
Having spent most of my life in our around Seattle, this is a common vision. One that connects me to so many memories, good and bad. Today I’m remembering living in downtown Seattle. That was home for nearly 10 years after I got out of the Navy. Basically, most of my twenties.
A fascinating time of my life. Trying to understand my place in the world. Discerning my dreams and goals. Mostly discerning myself, and my soul as unique and individual. Before that I either lived at home, in a dorm, on a ship, or in a barracks. I’d never truly lived alone.
A Monday fear
Nervousness wakes me
A meeting with high pressure
I’m lacking self-trust
A #midnight #haiku
In this deep darkness
As this day transformed to new
This eerie silence?
A Haiku Tribute To Aretha Franklin
“Aretha Franklin”
I honor her by saying
She’s earned my RESPECT
Aretha Franklin Sang Her Way Through America’s History. Her Passing Is the End of an Era
The Passage of Heartbeats
Each moment passing
Fading into memory
Waiting on sunlight
A long day done
Though not inspired
Only feeling weariness
Force myself to write
One last haiku today
I was going to write
But now I’m falling asleep
Yet I did write this
A Sunday Night Haiku

Another Sunday
The day’s faded to darkness
Summer’s heat waning
