02/28/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Fire and water meet,
And out of the clash comes the
Creation of worlds

Blast from the Past:

Fathom creation.
Flee like a belief into
Untouched subtlety.

Create our idols
To survive and live by
Executing them.

Blast from the past:

Must we inherit
The depravities of the
Gods worshipped for us?

I approach an abyss
That I am afraid
To learn I’ve been inside all along

Blast from the Past:

When you stare into
The abyss, are you really the
Monster staring back?

Alive in the garden
I’m the first joy and despair
Master of those cursed trees

Blast from the Past:

I’m learning that I
Need a new creation myth
To explain it all

Joy of becoming
Sin living
Without yet within

Blast from the Past:

The will to power
Evolution of beauty
Available light

Your legacy turns
To how others remake you
Till you’re forgotten

Posthumous title: Death from This World

Blast from the Past:

How long will it take
Until everything I do
Will be forgotten?

Who am I amidst
The quagmire of debate ‘tween
The self and its brain?

Blast from the Past:

Postmodern crisis:
The power of perspective,
Generative force

Paradise nor fall
Shall come follow me as I
Erase sin’s tongue.

Blast from the Past:

Did Adam and Eve
Ever get to name themselves
In their own garden?

True damnation is
The aspects of you that you
Could never resolve.

Blast from the Past:

I approach an abyss
That I am afraid
To learn I’ve been inside all along

This photo is a great encapsulation what I am trying to say in both of my haikus.

Paint your daisies
Full of your philosophy.
Let its wisdom sprout.

Blast from the Past:

Move beyond these chains
Choose their illusion no more
Yearning is your key
