Decisions, decisions, decisions
Build on the crater
Of many indecisions
Blast from the Past:
The facts can depress,
Only showing the extent
We will likely fail.
The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.

Decisions, decisions, decisions
Build on the crater
Of many indecisions
Blast from the Past:
The facts can depress,
Only showing the extent
We will likely fail.

Whether we’re ready
We are thrust into the world
To endure together
Blast from the Past:
You are the rain cloud
That prevents me from being
Scorched by my own sun.

I gaze back into
The “I” of each past encounter
As they become me
Blast from the Past:
The past and present
In what will they ever end
When they become one?

At the edge of who I am, I stand
Determining what it would even mean
To venture forward
Blast from the Past:
I’ve been standing on
The edge of what I have been
And what I could be.

There she goes
The woman you can
Never get
Blast from the Past:
Your heart remains cold
These words fail to rekindle
It’s dying embers.

Beautiful birds
Building their nest within the
Very Tree of Life
Blast from the Past:
Do birds sing new songs
Once they migrate to
Distant lands?

More more more
Everyday more
Don’t stop until you drop
Blast from the Past:
Conversations and
Then conversing followed by
More conversations

Meeting old friends
Seeing who you were clash
Against who you are now
Blast from the Past:
It’s like a ghost
That’s been following us both
Vague and unseen

(Sorry. I haven’t posted my daily haikus in the last couple days. I was busy at a wedding. I wrote the haikus on those days but didn’t have time to post them. They will be up soon.)
Motorbikes, cars, and people
Whiz by, the constant motion
Of Java
Blast from the Past:
The world keeps spinning
While I sit still and ponder
It’s ceaseless motion

Waiting while it loads
Watching my slow computer
Take such a long time
Blast from the Past:
I’m like a glacier:
Slow-moving til you get to
My ice-cracking tip.
