Various Haiku Offerings

Beauty can be found
Wherever eyesight can reach
Eyes filled with wonder

Spirits in conflict
Will never find decent rest
Calm soul will succeed

Open yourself up
To the beauty of the world
It is everywhere

Cast away the things
That remove you from yourself
No time to reflect

Similarities
Always outweigh differences
Among all people

Take my hand good friend
And follow me to the place
Put faith in hope/love

As bodies wake up
Be well aware that events
Took place while asleep

Only the past grows
The present: just small moments
As we move ahead

The future must shrink
The end foretold long ago
Only the past grows

As we move ahead
Remember that the present
Is already done

Find peace in others
Only after peace in you
Has taken firm hold

Compassion must find
A comfortable spot in
The depths of my soul

Darkness creeps inside
Water dripping through old pipes
Must prevent a flood

Heart beating slowly
Awaiting enlightenment
Soul’s hidden cocoon

Embrace calm river
Of compassion; drift through life
And find lasting peace

Only ask to live
And you will not find living
As satisfying

Blue orchid drips peace
Over thirsty soil below
Quench soul’s thirst with love

The rain tastes funny
seeping along salty lips
not rain, only sweat
