who knows where the flood comes from
but when it happens
you just got to keep on paddling

Uncertainty
Is that last step at the edge of
Your precipice,
Is it the end—does it with
Your footsteps?
Sometimes we look back
Footprints in the mind
To know how to move on
Where we’ve been,
Who we find / finish lines...
Amust journey to begin
Don’t let dark thoughts give in.
Be certain
Who/what makes you happy.
Know that there’s no contest
But yours to win.
No worries just breathe...

[Be silent. Listen...
Stay true. Live Free.
(Throw four sheets to the wind.
Find self make peace.)]
Namaste. Peace Be.

i had a little thought i had it once or twice
if the world had only peace woudnt it be nice
no violence or a war gone for evermore
life would be so nice and worth living for

things would be so safe you wouldnt have to hide
you could walk in freedom in the world outside
there would be no fear just a life of peace
worries and your troubles they would come to cease

just a world of love and a future bright
people in the world we could call unite
this is just a thought of how the world would be
if we could live as one in a life so free

Amazing
how the day spins
There are chains in
All entwined in

Amazing
How little my life means
To those I give my everything
it is humbling, to know your meaning

Amazing
In the scope of greens
I am a tiny speck of red
a very lonely feeling

Amazing
Cannot say anything
Without meaning other things
Deciding against it
The purpose defeating

Amazing
It is so small and beautiful
I am noticing the life beyond my life
I cannot help dreaming

Amazing
Every good thing
That happens after bad ones
That helps us forget
The last thing

Amazing
I am still living breathing
It is gratifying
How human is still a thing

Amazing
is my heart still beating
And it always for me.

Though stars are grouped into constellations
She did not feel the need to belong
Because alone in surrounding darkness
She shone the greatest on her own
find peace in being on your own.

thy kingdom come
thy will take place
selling health at a premium
to the human race
forgive us our debts
from thy mighty hand
or at least allow us
an installment plan
give us our daily meds
but deliver us from evil
by providing generic instead

Her glare pierces true
For she always comes to light
Bitter yet so free


Another day, another haiku!
This one is dedicated to Alethia, Goddess / Spirit of Truth.
I k how there isn't much on her, but honestly, I appreciate this goddess because shes rather prevalent in our day to day lives.
Weve all lied about something and to get out of the truth, we cover it with more lies. But the truth has a way of always coming to light, and it can be bitter, harsh and hurtful...it can set us free.
Theres a beautiful elegance to it really...

For the ice skater
It is better to have
little faith
on thick ice
Than great faith
on thin ice

You have nothing and everything
Hollowness and infinity
Renouncing the world
To find real world within
It is serene calm
Peace and quiet

Away from the possession
And the violence accompanying with it
The obsession of name
And deceit all the same
It is an illusion of pretty
Get ****** in
To never come back

Away from the life
There is soul calling
It is the presence
Of the divine
Breathe in
And find the strength
Living in.
