Category: the year in haiku

A steady heart and head
While turbulence surrounds you
Calm and undeterred

A burning desire
The will to achieve fixed firm 
Bridges burned behind

The ends of the scale
Identical in nature
Different in degree

Wherever you are
It deserves full attention
Be there totally

Old habits outgrown
Like a garment cast aside
Ready for the new

Capture the moment
Distill the essence of it
Thankful for the gift

Help cannot be forced
It needs to be accepted
A two way contract

Thought before action
Don’t jump straight in with both feet
Understand things first

Treetops sway gently
Softly whispering secrets
Carried on the breeze

The world that you see
Shaped by the mind you carry
How will you mould it?

I am becoming
Just what, remains to be seen
A work in progress

Don’t battle yourself
There’s enough to contend with
Pick your fights with care

Face towards the Sun
Gentle rays illuminate
Breathe in, breathe out, pause

Travel with purpose
It’s not just where you’re heading
How you get there counts 

Seek realignment
Snap back into sharp focus
Push on with purpose
