Early morning haiku

sleep’s evasive
the early morning darkness
hiding raindrops


Yeah, I should be asleep,

I’d prefer to be asleep

Yet that is not

My reality.

Acorns: A Poem Before Bed

acorns

echoes of the universe

upon my palm 
Good night, every one! May you all find rest and restoration this night

Good Night!

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

This Fitful Night

​Looking skyward

While dawn approaches

Waiting for this fitful night

To finally end

An Early Morning Poem

It is morning, I guess,

Bringing me wakefulness

Vigorously unwanted

Far too recently did I dive in

Seeking eight hours of rest

Obscenely cut short

By my restless mind

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 

This Night: A Haiku

As I now lay here 

The night’s silence calming me 

My brain is active 

An evening haiku

This night now ending

Time to calm my random thoughts

And embrace my rest

My mind fights me

Awake

Not my desired state

Yet here I am 

Fighting my own mind

What do I gain

When I win?
