After a Nightmare

February 3, 2016 Carl Setzer

Woke from a nightmare
Dreams of death and resistance
To birdsong outside

What’s Actually Done

February 2, 2016 Carl Setzer

I find it painful
At the end of busyness
Nothing accomplished

Uninspiration

January 27, 2016 Carl Setzer

Uninspiration
Dryness of my soul
Seeps downwards
Deep within, then
Gently tapping upon
My roof, winter rain.
Roots healed and
Life returns.

It is not yet dawn
Life begins manic stirrings
Night’s calm succumbing

Focus

Distraction, empty;
“Now”, the moment powerful.
Rain flows from branches

Hope is resistance

January 18, 2016 Carl Setzer

False power calling
The allure of fear and rage.
Hope always triumphs.

The sun collapses
Into itself, within dreams
Hope’s power calming

Lost within ego
Raging thoughtlessly again
Painful to my heart

Blame vs Work

January 9, 2016 Carl Setzer2 Comments

Paralyzed by rage
Blame is easier than work
Yet non-productive

Losing Now

January 7, 2016 Carl Setzer

Tomorrow’s calling
Trying to dance with the fog
Emptiness embraced
