07/21/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

I suffer from life
Heavy eyes and empty brain
The roads are traveled

Blast from the Past:

When sleep finally
Catches up to me, I’ll rest
For eternity

I sit on the bed
Tired, my eyes hurt, my head spins.
It is when I stop
I feel all the exhaustion
Now all built up within me

Today, I wrote a waka instead of my usual haiku.

Blast from the Past:

In the search for wonder
There are no endings
Only beginnings,
Eternal exhaustion

The conscious mind wakes
To the potential dawning 
Of reality

(I wrote this haiku while on the road without enough internet access to post it day of, so I posted later when I internet.)

Blast from the Past:

Hey, wakey wakey.
There’s eggs and bac-y. Well no,
But here’s a haiku.
