HAIKU OF DEATH


My Haiku of Death.gif

pi-slices

The void swallows me.

I fall into the darkness.

Silence engulfs me.

I free-fall in space.

Gravity, my enemy.

No place left to hide.

I keep my eyes shut.

When will I hit rock bottom?

The air turns chilly.

My descent goes fast.

I’ve come to my bitter end.

Life is in the past.

REGRETS


Source:sj0

As I fade away,

I think of days gone by.

As I crumble to sand,

I remember the past.

As I shrivel to nothing,

I regret what I’ve done.

But most of all,

I regret what I haven’t.

TO THE LIMIT

Take the night to the limit,

The road to its end,

The sun to its setting.

Leave no stone unturned,

No drama incomplete,

No sentence unwritten.

Take the road to the limit,

To a future yet to happen,

To times better spent.

Raise a glass to adventure,

A smile to the road taken,

Leaving no road untaken.

HOLD LIFE IN YOUR HAND

A bit of fluttering

tickles your fingers.

Antennas search for sound

as wings take flight.

It leaves too soon

on the puff of a breeze.

For one precious moment,

you hold life in your hand.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE


The circle of life.

We may fall,

but we’ll rise again

from the dust.

Life continues.

A never-ending circle.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL


The sun will shine again.

You will stroll with a friend.

Colorful flowers will take bloom.

Normality will be back soon.

COLORS OF LOVE




Green, blue, and pink.
Red for the sparkling eyes.
A little orange at its toes.
A blue belly for laughs.
A green body for hiding.
Colors of the rainbow.
Colors of love.
Colors of life.

LIVING

LIVING

Seek and you shall find

what the mind may hide.

Follow the soft sighs

to where the bird flies.

Dig deeper into your dream

as you float with the stream.

Time will never end

nor will it ever bend.

Enjoy the here and now

as I give my last bow.

UNSTOPPABLE


I reach for it.

I clench my fist.

I can’t grasp it.

It flows through my fingers.

It can’t be stopped.

I drop my hand,

and bow my head to it.

LIFE IS A CAROUSEL

Round and round we must go.
Our fantasies take us higher.
Will we meet friend or foe?
Take the ride and face the fire.

A PUZZLE

Life's a Puzzle


Life is a mystery,
A puzzle of its own.
You need to fill it in,
So you won’t be alone.

LIFE IN YOUR HAND

A bit of fluttering
tickles your fingers.

Antennas search for sound
as wings take flight.
It leaves too soon

on the puff of a breeze.
For one precious moment,

you held life in your hand.

MOTHER NATURE


red ocean

Nature takes its path,
removing the trash.
Enough humans for now.
So, take a final bow.
Let Mother Nature work to restore
the earth to what it was before.

SILVER LINING

This is just a bump in the road.
Life can deliver us a toad.
But we must keep our hope intact.
We know this as a well-known fact,
“Every cloud has a silver lining.”
I refuse to hear any more whining.
