An empty focus
Driving towards reflexive goals
Neglecting one’s soul

Progress
Daring to speak words,
Empowerment of progress.
Seeking real change.
Flu Haiku
Germs descended here
Embattled body withers
May healing soon come
History beckons
Upon windy voice,
Echoes of history call;
Resist cyclic doom.
Early morning wakefulness
Still, fears rise up
Providing discomfort
And misery; wakefulness
When I seek sleep.
Reality
See culture’s mirror
Brutality’s rough edges
Reality’s pain
Welcoming
Simple acts of welcome
Gentleness, arms over shoulders
Creating a glorious web
Safety, enabling growth
Another Week
Potential
Sits upon the edge
Waiting
Waiting
For the gift
Of action
Nighttime in Shanghai
Nighttime in Shanghai
Light escaping darkness
Glittering brilliance
Seattle’s Skies
Misty clouds drifting
Stretched by fir and cedar boughs
Grasping longingly
