Category: the year in haiku

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.

When troubled, recall:
We are not worried by things,
But the thought of things

Time passes quickly;
Be careful not to waste it,
Strive to make your mark.

Faced with a challenge,
Take a pause and count to ten;
Choose to overcome.

Don’t be overwhelmed;
Just do what you can and should.
All else, an option.

A break from the rain,
Bright sun shines in a blue sky
As happy tails wag.

A loved one departs.
Heavy the burden of loss,
Expected or not.

Grey skies, constant rain.
Keep heart when plans must be changed;
Nice weather for ducks.

Choosing to react,
The hurt is self-inflicted.
Show yourself more love.

Celebrate each win
Forgive inconsistencies
Move forward in hope

Focus has limits.
Like an overflowing cup,
Excess pours away.

On finding the path
The one who never turns back
Goes to greater things
