Bestow: A Haiku

4-24-18-Haiku

Gifts given with grace
Seeking to bestow our love
Filling both our hearts

Tonight’s haiku is about learning from your mistakes

Learn from your mistakes
Stand up, smarter and wiser
Springtime approaches

The powerful thing one can do when facing mistakes is to taste a moment and absorb the learning. Let that mine in to your core, change you, make you wiser. That’s the kernel of humility. 

Feed your soul joy 

Just pursue your dreams
Seek out joy to feed your soul
Fight hard for your heart

May your week be filled with blessings. 

I Delight In White Noise 

White noise’s beauty 

Hiding the fearful silence 

This mountain of sand 

Sometimes I find it hard to sleep in deep silence. Perhaps it’s the urbanite within me. I find comfort in sound. But would I find peace within the raucousness of the jungle? 

The Subconscious: A Meditation

This lake, rippleless
Voices from within our depths
Currents flowing deep

Today’s Daily Prompt: Frigid 

Being from Seattle

What’s frigid to me is just

Cool for so many 

I’m not asleep

Night fell long ago
Yet sleep is avoiding me
I hear the highway

Oh sleep, I’ve requested your presence some time ago. Sigh…

Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow.

Birds Singing at Dawn

The day’s beginning
With amazing potential
Bird’s singing at dawn

Early morning with birds singing boldly. I’m not quite ready to leave the comfort of bed and blankets. The sky slowly lightens, second by second. 

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?
