Daily Haiku: Awoke By My Fears

Awoke by my fears
Not an unusual thing
Though I’ve grown weary 


I’ve long hated my mind’s tendency to torment me late at night. Bringing up ancient mistakes, dragging forth unlikely scenarios, so many ways my mind finds to attack my tranquility. 

Germs are in control 

Germs are in control
Obediently I sleep
Rest eluding me 


Ah, fighting germs again. A slow lingering cough my main symptom, a long with my lack of energy. 

A snow calmed Christmas morn

I’m awake early
On this dark Christmas morning
The night calmed by snow


I hope each of you has a blessed and refreshing Christmas.

A #Haiku from the Space Needle

Rivers of gold light
Flowing across this city
Blessings of darkness

The Solstice Approaches

Days passing past me 

Daylight wanes for a few weeks 

Then the axis tilts

Horrible News

Early in the day
Witnessing such suffering
A surreal day


 

The Amtrak derailment about 60 miles south of me dominated the news, and my awareness yesterday. 

Good Morning: A Haiku 

Brutal wakefulness
Abrupt, electronic noise
Reality’s grasp



Between fans blowing, my phone pinging, and alarms chiming, my morning is filled with racket. 

Today’s Haiku: Lost Within My Thoughrs


Lost within my thoughts

May the dark consume me now 

Joys hidden from view

A Moral Compass

Easy to get lost
Gazing into the future
If the compass lost

A Haiku About Cold Meds 

Cold meds bring me gifts

Drowsiness which slows me down

So hard to wake up
