Category: the year in haiku

To make a new start
You must first shed your old skin
Reveal the new you

Turn your thoughts within
A whisper in the darkness
Will guide you homewards

Be in the moment
Always mindful of your part
Give and receive more

Practice each detail
Perfect the constituents
Assemble the whole

Little by little
You can’t do it all at once
Some things must take time

It’s time to take stock
Reflect on your achievements
See where you can grow

Don’t fight the currents
Float where they want to  take you
Save your energy

In the familiar
Hiding beneath the surface
So many unknowns

Focus mind and will
Persist in your endeavours
Keep the fire alive

Work to be your best
With patience and diligence
Tirelessly growing

Leave no stone unturned
Explore every avenue
Find what lies hidden

Situations change
Don’t fear the unfamiliar
Embrace it and grow

No ego today
Think for the good of the whole
Act accordingly

Virtue and justice
The guiding lights of a life
Follow where they lead

All of the small things
Don’t let them be a bother
Deal with them with grace
