Hidden

January 8, 2016 Carl Setzer4 Comments

Staying within the corners of my dreams,
Afraid to break free and explore the edges.
Light’s glorious textures outside my bounds,
Unable to reach for starlight beyond my gaze.

Winter’s Dream

January 7, 2016 Carl Setzer

Dreams flowing, stream-like
Passing under winter’s ice
Lost within the stones

Morning meditation on Twitter

December 31, 2015 Carl Setzer

Laying in bed
Warmth pervading
Safe and comfortable
Cold lightly touching skin
Adrift in this sea of
Knowledge. All things
Available immediately.
This 21st century

Basics of Love

December 27, 2015 Carl Setzer1 Comment

Basics are easy
Love’s kernel is kindness
Absent, love is dead.

Early on a Winter’s Morn.

December 26, 2015 Carl Setzer

No wind, pre-sunrise,
Tranquility descending.
Winter, free of snow.

Girls in my life

December 20, 2015 Carl Setzer

Does she see herself
Gifted, talented and bright?
We tear our girls down.

Growing beyond surviving

December 12, 2015 Carl Setzer

Anyone who seeks to turn
Trauma and horrors’ emotional energy
Towards compassion and kindness
Embraces the deepest wisdom.

Our culture has a dearth of love.
I applaud all those who
Long to grow that seed.

The need is great.

Waiting

December 5, 2015 Carl Setzer

Sit, waiting for God,
Grasping tranquility’s joy.
Peacefulness transcends.

Never Enough

November 22, 2015 Carl Setzer

Fear motivates,
Drives us mad,
Greed, envy, despair:
And we know not how to resist.
