Category: the year in haiku

Light breeze rustles leaves
As the sun slowly dips down;
All is peace and calm.

When circumstance jars,
Try not to lose your rhythm
More than you can help.

Change for the better;
Show yourself who is in charge,
You can make it so.

Don’t learn how to limp.
Study the lives of leaders;
Learn from their habits.

Defy inertia;
Decide who you want to be,
Then work for the change.

Become what you wish;
With patient application,
Your best self awaits.

Little by little
Each insignificant step
Builds upon the last

Commune with nature,
Set your feet onto the earth,
Feel the connection.

A daily habit:
Indulge in meditation
If only briefly.

Gratefully enjoy 
Every step of the journey
For its uniqueness

Hide not your talents;
A sundial in the shade
Is of little use.

Your thoughts and feelings
Tint your life with their colours;
Choose a calming scheme.

Solitary gull
Perches on the breakwater,
Calmly observing.

Think before you do;
Actions have consequences
Which can’t be undone.

Make the change today
Don’t wait for a better time;
There may not be one.
