Category: the year in haiku

Speed is not the key:
Progress comes at its own pace.
It cannot be forced.

If you look closely
In the midst of the turmoil;
Chances are waiting.

Winter is not done:
Cold winds and rain reappear.
Spring will have to fight!

Clocks have gone forward:
Steady lengthening of days
Guiding in summer.

You can’t stop progress.
Do not be afraid of change;
Be prepared for it.

When the storms blow hard,
The tree that bends with the wind
Will remain standing

Work hard to improve,
Hone your skills with diligence;
Earn your just reward

Keep a level head:
In times of uncertainty
Clarity prevails.

Go with the streams‘s flow;
You will be still within it,
Not struggling with it.

Beware impatience:
Be careful what you wish for;
You might just get it.

The list seems endless,
Things waiting to be done.
One step at a time.

The good that you do,
Do not for appearance’ sake
But to have done right

A break in the clouds,
Brief respite from the downpour:
Time to fetch the leads

Look deep within you:
Let go all you have outgrown
To be your best self.

Each precious moment
Will never happen again;
Be immersed in it.
