06/24/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Slowly, softly seized
Faces whose eyes stare at me
I’m an empty stage

Blast from the Past:

Staring into the
Abyss of sinister scorn
And shame seethingly

Talent for dreaming
A slumber of mysteries
Color of boredom

Blast from the Past:

Inspiration comes
From within your minds eye but
So does writer’s block.

In the faint shadows
God robbed of her universe
Invisible chasm

Blast from the Past:

Secret inwardness
The dying away from self
God and the finite

Sunny when you leave
But within a few minutes
Large storm clouds appear

Blast from the Past:

The cool morning rain
Leaves the earth with the gift of
Quiet tranquility

Modes of inertia
Understand recent changes
Danger overtaking

Blast from the Past:

The pauses mix up
Life’s climactic transitions
Broken by stillness

My thoughts race as I
Try to focus on less than
Seven things at once

Blast from the Past:

In the twilight lies
An oasis of strange thoughts
Flowing through my mind

Contemplate, not think
Non-light that illumines dreams
Vast depths of a truth

Blast from the Past:

Climbing temple stairs,
Breaking here to contemplate
My mortality

You can never hope
When you think you have all that
You need in your life

Blast from the Past:

Climbing to then fall
Fossilized in poverty
Hoping for rebirth

An imagined past
A prologue of the future
Just makeshift maybes

Blast from the Past:

Nostalgia

Hiding your bias:
That was how it used to be.
Bogus history.

After a long week,
I can finally take a
Moment for myself

Blast from the Past:

The gentle cool breeze
And no new information
A relaxed mind
