Hello little spark!
Keep showing up your own way;
You can't control light.

#messyhaiku

I cornered the edge
Half-drunk and half-lucid, as
It came to a halt.

I know that I should have died.
Something saved my life that night.

#truestory #vss365 #renga

I am the bullet
That screams through the air, from where--
You pulled the trigger.

#messyhaiku

Between harmonies,
Passing tones are dissonant
In different modes.

#messyhaiku #musicmajor #vss365

Distill your words, dear
Into something easier
For my ears to hear.

#messyhaiku #misunderstandings

Closing or sealing
Is an act of completion;
Also containment.

#messyhaiku #energy #spells

My eye has a twitch
Ever since the last bombing-
That wasn't a glitch.

#messyhaiku

I can't write without embellishments.
It doesn't feel honest;
To skip the relevance of word choice
(or punctuation).

Entropy does not exist
At the center of The Wheel.

When the field is orbital,
The Fool sits in the middle.

Goddess, grant me the wisdom
to be so foolish.

Riddle of the day:
What is a wall in reverse?
An open doorway.

Riddle of the day:
What is a wall in reverse?
An open doorway.

The light will always live in me--
It will shine out my ears
Like the Milky Way.

Stellar portals blinked twice,
When a beam, I became.

His boat rocked at sea;
The waves were dark and heavy.
A siren's voice sang...

#messyhaiku

After my mother died, I stumbled through an abandoned graveyard and screamed at the pines. I immediately tripped over an undercover branch and ripped a hole in my brand new jeans. I fell to the ground and cried. A wild, beastly cry...and I still wonder...who was watching?

Begin Again
#messyhaiku

Together we knew--
The end was always coming.
And so, we began.

In the face of love
May I hold you in my heart
As a part of me.

#messyhaiku

In the face of love
May I hold you in my heart
As a part of me.

Euthymia A Path to Well-Being

Democritus defined Euthymia as a state where the soul lives "calmly and steadily, being disturbed by no fear, superstition, or any other passion." open.substack.com/pub/theinner...

Bothered by the clear
decline in literacy,
I devour words.

#messyhaiku

Being "set apart"
is jargon from the right-hand side
(not from your own heart).

#messyhaiku

...works all day to pay
the rent she owes a man who
owns her anyway...

#messyhaiku

The seed of self-doubt
Shielded by a mirror
May never take root.

#protectionspell

My love; a treasure
You never bothered to see.
Has returned to me.

#messyhaiku

"Put me in your pack,
Like a fairy on your back"
Memories of mom.

#messyhaiku #imissmymom

The empire wanes.
Between eruptions it wails
As we watch it burn.
#mesayhaiku #vss365

I pour hot water
into the frozen birdbath
think of my mother
do the birds miss her too?
my heart’s still broken

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

A really important moment to remember that meditation is only preparation for right action, never a replacement for it.
