Haiku 44

Each day I let go
That’s how I know I’m clinging
Farther…closer still

Fading out of the you that is you and into the you that is it

Haiku 43

The knots and tangles —
Hair informs that Indra’s Net
Weaves nothing to life

Being Caucasian with dreadlocks will reveal a great void -- and the messiness that fills it

Haiku 42

Intrinsic value
Rooted in moments unused
Why long for the ring

I was waiting on a call to be useful, but here I already am.

Haiku 41

As the traffic screams
As demands call violently
The stillness deepens

The mountaintop is somehow quieter when the birds are singing..

Haiku 40

I did it to you
I paid the price in your mistakes
I did it to me too

And you did it unto you. We are each other's reflections.

(A deviation from traditional English form)

Haiku 39

The rose bud needs not
An audience adorning
Alone — it wins hearts

Too perfect to be lonely

Haiku 38

When sheltered from rain
You’re fixed on the greys above;
Play in the puddles

That which you avoid is perpetually drawn to the foreground
