Flowers: sharing a poem from O at the edges

Carl Setzer

via Flowers

A lovely poem

I delight in flower’s grace

Words of elegance

A Monday fear 

Carl Setzer

Nervousness wakes me 

A meeting with high pressure 

I’m lacking self-trust 

A #midnight #haiku

Carl Setzer

In this deep darkness
As this day transformed to new
This eerie silence?

Resisting the night

Carl Setzer2 Comments

Darkness holds its own 

Rest is deceptively hard 

The street-light’s ally  

I Chose To Care

Carl Setzer

Though many don’t care 

And they pride themselves on that

I shall choose caring

I don’t mind the nerdly/Pollyanna label: I care. And I have no intention to change that.

The Passage of Heartbeats

Carl Setzer

Each moment passing 

Fading into memory 

Waiting on sunlight 

A long day done

Carl Setzer

Though not inspired

Only feeling weariness

Force myself to write

Carl Setzer

I will resist fear 

For I long to seek out joy

And find potential

I’ve let fear run my life far too long. Fear of failure, of rejection. This paralyzes, destroying opportunity. This I resist. 

The Growth Mindset

Carl Setzer4 Comments

Seeking out purpose
And positive energy
For I long to grow

I focus on a growth mindset. Always pushing back on fears and challenging my limiting believes. It’s not easy, but always worth it.
