An early morning meditation

The doom of choosing
I’m afraid of being wrong
Predawn tree’s stillness

Waking Early To Rain

Rain marching downwards

Gravity’s relentless draw 

Early morning thoughts 

Hummingbirds, Life, Death

I watch a hummingbird

p style=”font-family:"”>Are we only allowed

This Day Begins: A Haiku

Sunlight’s holding back
Eastern mountains soon will glow
As this day begins

LISTENING To Music 

As youth I chose
To deeply explore music
Each word critical 

Music is critical to me. For my teenage years, I focused my study there. Well, as best as I could focus at that age. Music means so very much to me. Understanding the way lyrics, melody and harmony intersect for the good of the story carried great value. 

I seek to recapture that. Spent some time this morning enjoying it again. Until life’s demands intruded. Soon, I’ll return. These delights critical to my soul. 


Today’s Daily Prompt: Assay

For so great a mind
Those who understand “Assay
Others are tested

Defining “Vermin”

Why do we loathe such
These creatures that adapt well
To our wastefulness

Squirrels, rats, myriad insects, and so many other creatures that have adapted well to living in the shadow of humanity. These we loathe, finding beauty in those struggling to find a place in the world we’re rapidly changing. 

Between Light and Dark

Between light and dark
Where love and anguish loiter
With snow upon leaves

The Rage Engine: A Haiku

Rage’s engine roars
A machine that churns out death
While rotting out souls

Seems this is the favorite piece of equipment to operate anymore.
