Birds Awakened 

This morning’s still dark
Abrupt noise into silence
Birds have awakened

This morning’s first birdsong came while I was dosing. Jarring enough to yank my attention. Does the first bird to speak get the early worm? Ot, perhaps, he gets the girl? 

A Sunday Meditation

Camp Gwinwood Cross

Sunlight piercing leaves
A rough hewn cross pulls my eyes
Birds break my thoughts

A Meditation About Dreams 

Oblivion’s edge
Looking downwards from the moon
Glimpsing into dreams

The interesting “thinks” that came through my brain. 


A Smiling Face In My Office

My bright, cheery friend
Watches me upon my desk
My office’s joy

Tonight’s Haiku: Buds Become Blossoms

A new testament
The hand of God drifting through
Buds become blossoms

My Morning Meditation

I sit in darkness
Concentrating on my breath
Focusing my mind

Spring Is Approaching

Springtime manifests
Facing down Seattle’s rain
Soon the blossoms fade

Fathers, Daughters, and Snapshots of Beauty

A friend and daughter
The gentle kiss upon her head
Witnessing sweetness

Lovers of Violence

We love violence
Romance of the gunslinger
Murderous outlaws
