Staring Into The Abyss: Tonight’s Haiku

As I stare into
The abyss, eyes peering back
A gaze, which is mine

The Darkness and the Light 

Darkness and the light
Elements of all our lives
Don’t give in to fear


Finding oneself aligned with the light, it’s easy to be afraid of the darkness within us. 


So, I’m Awake

Yeah, well, I’m awake
Against my better judgement
Sleep’s power is strong

This Evening’s Haiku : The Night

Beyond the day’s strength
Suddenly the light’s now gone
Darkness’ deceit

Returning To Normal

New Year's 2018

Now we transition
We’re returning to normal
Within this new year


 

Ready to get back to work? To shake things up and make a difference? If not, what do you need to do to change that? 

Tonight’s #haiku explores the passing of time and seasons

Winter advances
Yet the solstice passed us by
Change is approaching

Alarm Clocks: A Haiku

Just ten minutes more

As the clock keeps beckoning

The demands of life

Memories of a fading Seattle

Many memories
Walking past the empty halls
In winter’s darkness

Ages ago I lived in Seattle’s heart. At that point, beginning a transformation, becoming the economic behemoth of our now. Then we were still the refuge of the poor, downtrodden. Suburban business professionals drifting through, vanishing as the clock struck five. The flurry of buses and cars carrying them away, far away from us. I found myself wandering nighttime streets, streetlights and gentle rain accompanying my steps. An urban beauty.

Zen’s Essence 

This is my challenge
Stare inwards free of judgement
Embrace compassion
