The Colors Of Dawn

There’s so much despair

We can fail to see beauty

The colors of dawn

My body wants to sleep, but not my mind

Now the night moves in

My body wanting to sleep

My mind resisting 

Sunset: A Haiku

This day moved by fast

Sunrise becoming sunset

Orange horizon

A Monday fearĀ 

Nervousness wakes me 

A meeting with high pressure 

I’m lacking self-trust 

An evening haiku

This night now ending

Time to calm my random thoughts

And embrace my rest

Resisting the night

Darkness holds its own 

Rest is deceptively hard 

The street-light’s ally  

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 

In a VW Van

On the edge of sleep 

I’m dreaming of road journeys

In a VW van
