If I could choose again
I would choose the same

5/2/2023 – wash me in mud
Wash me of old-begotten woes
And cut my storied locks
Set mud and sand between my toes
And toss the rotted socks
5/1/2023 – a haiku
Hurried sprouts spring high
With suddenness at the sun
To see it at last
4/29/2023 – anything but now
Alas for me
That I circle so
In my mind’s recesses
Alas for me
That I trundle on
When I could stop and feel
Alas for me
That I wait
For what may never come
Alas for me
That I die
In living for anything
But now
4/28/2023 – a haiku
Wander there with me
Where what’s known meets horizons
That we might be free
4/27/2023 – let the shadows speak
Though oft I find I tremble for
The shadowed road ahead
Or that which on my heart so wore
And left my soul for dead
I find a solace in the night
A truth silent and free:
That if I wish to find the light
Oft I must let the shadows speak to me
4/26/2023 – the wishes of a young man
The seasons change, and still I want
For things that seemed so near
The wishes of a young man haunt
This older version’s ear
4/25/2023 – Icarus (a haiku)
I am but a man
Yet I yearn to fly higher
Rise above myself
4/24/2023 – with me
Stand with me
That we stand the stronger
Talk with me
That we talk the freer
Lie with me
That we lie the closer
Walk with me
That we walk the wiser
Laugh with me
That we laugh the truer
4/22/2023 – wasting time
With patience others wait upon
What life is yet to bring
I wonder what could force it on
To me time seems wasting
