02/09/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

We evolve based on
Our cycles, no sooner, no later
Than our own time

Blast from the Past:

Sometimes the things we
Need most are not the things we
Think we need at all…

What beauty is left
By the scorching sun
After the dew fades?

Blast from the Past:

The sea, singing the
Elegy of exodus,
Surrendered us up

Contours carve faces
Each wrinkle is a chapter
In my history

Blast from the Past:

Life promises the
Illusion of improvement
Until death renegs

Poetry is the
Window into
The impossible
Through the words of
The possible

Blast from the Past:

To learn what is possible,
You must cross into
The impossible.

What is life,
But our bliss on the brink
Of oblivion?

Blast from the Past:

Your life rippling forth
In the universe, returns
Back into nothing

To the man who pursues more—
Will tomorrow be worth your while?
Or just part of an endless pile?
Why should you go one more mile?

Blast from the Past:

I climb the mountain,
And now what?
There always seems to be
Another mountain to climb

Fame only postpones
How long it takes history
To forget you

Blast from the Past:

History always
Exists within the cosmos,
As just one small part

Arising from dust
We are a wild sunflower
Swaying in the breeze

Blast from the Past:

If I were a tree,
I would be curved and twisted
As I search for the sun
And my roots would cling dearly to the earth

We live in cycles
Of failure and success
Forever moving
Towards balance

Blast from the Past:

How grounded we are,
Breathing the earth we make up,
In, out, forever

As the world grows big,
I feel as if everything
Runs away from me.

Blast from the Past:

The process of life
One becomes and unbecomes
Reformed with others
