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.

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.

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.

FLOWERS WILL BLOOM


SILVER LINING


Source:

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.

WE’LL SHINE AGAIN



The stars shine each night
to ease our combined fright.
They wait for us to shine.
So, please do not pine.
We’ll make it through this hell
to ring the nightly bell.

I MUST SLEEP





I’ve fallen
to the depths
of my despair.
I must rest and
replenish my spirit,
revitalize my soul.
I will stand,
climb once more,
try to resume my life.
But first, I must sleep.

CONSUMED BY THE SEA

It is here.
A force to be reckoned.
It grows by the second,
thrashing under the bridge,
leaving death in its wake.
Leave me be.
My dying wish isn’t
to be consumed by the sea.
