Category: the year in haiku

In wonder and awe
See the unseen everywhere
Never cease to search

Bathed in the pale glow
The power to be transformed
If such is your wish

Know that you don’t know:
The beginnings of wisdom
So much lies in wait

All is in motion
Transforming and unceasing 
But never at rest

Inspiration flags 
Like a dried up riverbed
Then comes the deluge

Rewards for patience
The unexpected pleasures 
And sweeter for it

Just like a jigsaw
The pieces slot into place
One by one by one

To fail to prepare
Is to prepare for failure
Don’t let that happen

Procrastination
It’s amazing what gets done
Freed from its shackles

Deafening silence
The sound of one hand clapping:
Don’t seek approval

Don’t be overwhelmed
The forecasted heavy storms
May not be so bad

Too good to be true
Beware empty promises
Sellers of snake oil

Watch events unfold
Don’t try to second guess things
Act with calm judgement

Chosen by Plato:
Temperance, wisdom, courage
And from these, justice

Don’t procrastinate
Just grab the bull by the horns
Get it done already
