Category: the year in haiku

Tireless companions
Walking loyally beside
Heads high, tails wagging 

Interconnected
The eternal cycles run
Beating their rhythms

No damage too great
Even trampled grass can bloom
There is always hope

Much more than just sounds
Words are tools to build the world
Assemble with care

One path, full presence
Be mindful and committed
Sure, unwavering

Plan with clarity
Silence, vision and structure
Role, code, direction

All that you have learned
All that you assimilate
Try hard not to lose

Enjoy the journey
The unadvertised detours
Unplanned bonuses

Remain undaunted
Believe that you can do it
And so it shall be

Take the first step now
Why wait for some better time
There may not be one

Relax with your friends
Unwind and recharge your soul
God knows you’ve earned it

Don’t see it as work
Self improvement is your due 
What else would you do?

Base camp just behind
Still a mountain to ascend
Don’t be overwhelmed

Soft sound of birdsong
Orange glow filters through leaves
Shadows dance lightly

Trust your convictions
Don’t be put off by self doubt
Just give it your best
