A Haiku Before Bed, November 27, 2019

stars above 

the night’s calmness

fir smoke in the air 

I do love the night. But now, it’s time for sleep to get its way. 

Good night, my friends!

Thoughts, early Saturday morn

​Going to sleep Friday

Tomorrow’s free morning

Ah, to wake leisurely!

My mind springs awake

Hours before dawn

This sadistic life

Good Night!

I wish you goodnight
With darkness descending here
The stars keep shining

A Friday Night #Haiku

My son is sleeping

As night has taken over

This long week ending

A Haiku About Rest’s Healing Power

Seattle from Harborview
The view to the west from our room in Harborview

My son is sleeping
Night’s healing power acting
As we move forward

This Fitful Night

​Looking skyward

While dawn approaches

Waiting for this fitful night

To finally end

Day Passes To Night

Day passes to night
The demands of the day pass
Finally some rest

A Haiku

Nighttime Dominates: An Evening Haiku 

Nighttime dominates

Sleep continues its demands 

I cannot resist 

Sleep’s Grace 

My soul resisting

This awakening, needed

Longing for sleep’s grace 

My body wants to sleep, but not my mind

Now the night moves in

My body wanting to sleep

My mind resisting
