Looking through my eyes
Progress slowly fades away.
Eroding senses
Means no change, time wasted, as
The breath of ignorance rules.
Why Can’t You See?

Sometimes I Wonder…
What happens when you
Ignore the obvious? you
Lose sight of what is
Truly needed, hurting those
Who you are supposed to help
Year
Today we have the
Chance to reset ourselves, to
Start again, but why
Do we have to wait for a
New Year? Live life every day
Renewal (2)
Waiting for the end,
When hope is still alive and
Our future seems so
Bright, Another year is done,
Renewal is the answer
Lost
Being lost they say,
Sand slips through empty fingers,
Recalling scenes of
Where we were and where we are,
Found in the grains of today
We Can Dream
Imagine a day
Where love passes as truth and
Serenity falls
From the sky like the golden
Rays of the sun-We can dream…
The inspiration for this tanka came from a painting done by a friend at work. It hangs on her office wall and when I saw it today I knew that I had to write something! I love the painting! It tells so many stories.
A Fog Filled Morning
A foggy day, exactly twenty four hours after we got 6 inches of snow!
Melting snow watches,
Empty fog transforms each soul,
A misty blanket
Of warm rain falls, envelopes
Protects, hides and forgives all
My Peace
Windswept angry eyes,
An icy veneer softly
Moves against the tide
Of knowing what was passing
In time through my yesterday
Recluse
A question pondered
Cerebral ice a thin line,
Seclusion, exile,
Razor sharp reality
A burden imposed by one
Alone
Standing on the road
Cars rush by, antiquated
Faces, empty and blank,
Stare back, sadness is the tale,
Eyes, vacant and lonely, see
The Zen Hiker
