Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
Early morning fog
Autumn diffusing the dawn
Delightful silence
​Pre-dawn
Tranquil silence ~
My pen and I
I love early mornings, before anyone else is awake.
I created this with an app called InstaQuote, which in not sure exists anymore. This is in my aging Kindle, which I need to resume soon.
This was a response to a haiku prompt: leaks. Thinking of the way sunlight makes its way though the trees to the east. I’m fond of that morning light.
seek tranquility
be content with quiet things
the beauty of dawn
I wrote this as a response to a haiku challenge on Twitter. The key word was “content”. Now, I thought about “content” as in “content creation”, but the more I thought about it, I felt the focus should be more aligned with “contentment”. The whole zen thing I focus on.
This haiku makes me think of one of my mantras/mission statements, “live simply so that others may simply life”. Being content, eliminating greed and gross consumption, to seek balance…these are all elements of my life which I wish to grow.
night is complete
dawn’s grace arrives
resisting waking
an ocean of sound
boldly starting the day
the sky remains dark
Pre-dawn tones, birds and insects chatter, apart yet together. Robins, crickets, then crows: acoustic motion across my consciousness.
Saturday morning, just a few more days left of June. Many types of chronological motion, too, greying my hair. Speaking to me of near ancient memories. Ancient, at least, in terms of humanity, of human life-spans.
My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Theme.
dawn crawls through trees
red skies setting the theme
hope within the new
ascending the curve
sunlight climbing the mountains
dancing cosmic orbs
sunlight pushing in
another day comes to life
my eyes resisting
sunlight from the east
I seek to start every day
crafting a poem
Good morning everyone! Wishing peace this first Friday of April.
