Category: the year in haiku

In between two worlds 
Not allowed to live or die
A ghost suspended

An unfinished chord
Seeking its resolution
Yearning expression

To face fear head-on
And not be consumed by it
Truly empowered

If the roots are deep
The foundation will be strong
Keep them well nourished

You seek contentment
Know it is already here
Look deep within you

Repeating patterns
Existing across all planes
Perfect symmetry 

There in the silence
In the spaces in between
Growth lies in waiting

The deeper you ground
The higher you can ascend
Take root to fly high

Rein-in your troubles
Stop the catastrophising
Seek answers instead

Listen to your dog
You’re never too old to play
Stay forever young

True to your purpose
Clarity of thought and act
No less is deserved

Insults are not real
Fleeting imaginations
Let them disappear

So unexpected
The wind knocked out of your sails
Hit below the belt

Tradition matters
But without defining you
Respect, but be you

There’s always a path
What you cannot pass straight through
Circumnavigate
