An evening haiku

This night now ending

Time to calm my random thoughts

And embrace my rest

Good Night

The night has come

Motion is now stilling

Dream’s demands coming forth

Wakefulness stills

One last haiku today

I was going to write

But now I’m falling asleep

Yet I did write this

My mind fights me

Awake

Not my desired state

Yet here I am 

Fighting my own mind

What do I gain

When I win?

My Pre-Dawn Mind: A Morning Haiku

Sitting here, pre-dawn 

My mind frantic with work stuff

The night is quiet

I’m awake, my mind reeling with ideas. Sadly, but restful, peaceful ones. Rather, things I need to change, ideas i need to incorporate. In the morning calm, my brain is editing my work. But they most desirable thing, I guess. It doesn’t facilitate and being of being well rested. The

My relentless mind

The Night Moves Now

​The night moving now

It slides up, embracing me

A piano plays 

A haiku from far too late at night


Sitting in the dark

Remembering old travels

Dreaming of the Road

Germs are creeping up on me this evening 

Sitting in darkness
Dreams crowding my awareness
My germs arguing 

Yeah, I’m feeling germs creeping up. Coughing. Sigh. 

Hopefully, a good night’s rest will reset me.
