Oh, do you really
Understand the sound of spring
Rain on the soft brook?
Blast from the Past:
Why continue a
School of thought? Craft your style. Don’t
Rest beneath their hedge.
The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.

Oh, do you really
Understand the sound of spring
Rain on the soft brook?
Blast from the Past:
Why continue a
School of thought? Craft your style. Don’t
Rest beneath their hedge.

The chapter ended
With no summons, no climax,
No theme, no punchline.
Blast from the past:
A lot of racket
From a small frog jumping
Into a puddle

This peak I just climbed
Seemed way out of reach until
The very last step
Blast from the past:
Be the change you want,
Or simply change the nature
Of being itself

Not all who wander
Are lost, but some wanderers
Decide to stay put.
Blast from the past:
Should I work to fix
My pigeon-toed walk to God?
I’m best on my knees

Why do I want wings?
Pangs inside like pokes of bones
From that which I crave.
Blast from the past:
At what point do you
Discover the name you were
Meant to give yourself?

I crawl back into
That space of
Unfamiliarity.
Blast from the past:
Earth, how big you are,
And how small we humans are
In comparison?

Pathways of power
The world lit only by fire
Strength in what remains
Blast from the Past:
She loved reading books
To candlelight that with age,
Her eyes strain to read.
