2024 - The Cracked Door

11/10/24 Haiku for the Day

The sun of freedom
Only radiates more brightly
When forced into a dark chamber

Blast from the past:

No more politics
To dilate our eyes as we
Look upon the world

Anticipation
Irresistibility
Exhilaration

Blast from the Past:

The roving wind
Patterned air pushing more air
To a new cycle

Standing there, luring
Despair astray, erasing
Expanses of hope

Blast from the past:

In the darkest night
The lonely moon still shines.
Hope for dark days ahead

Bored in a meeting,
Scribbling down a haiku,
But no one can see.

Blast from the Past:

Sitting with your work
Wondering who will read it
Utter loneliness

I wander through these
Fugitive worlds. My face my
Only companion.

Blast from the past:

Hunger for beyond
Do not choose this illusion
Freedom is the key

Brief introduction
To your friendly neighborhood
Totalitarianism

Blast from the past:

Young lad standing proud
Once the pride of our nation
Slouched into nothing

Healing emulates
Even from what might be the
Most painful venom

Blast from the past:

When they are hurting,
Why do some feel natural
Hurting others too?
