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 

A Monday fear 

Nervousness wakes me 

A meeting with high pressure 

I’m lacking self-trust 

Resisting the night

Darkness holds its own 

Rest is deceptively hard 

The street-light’s ally  

A Friday morning haiku 

Dawn’s light is now here

The highway sound now louder

Crows conversing

I Chose To Care

Though many don’t care 

And they pride themselves on that

I shall choose caring


I don’t mind the nerdly/Pollyanna label: I care. And I have no intention to change that. 

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

Another day begins

Another day begins

Accept my limitations

Find my strengths: excel! 

A Sunday Night Haiku

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