Haiku

The sun is rising

And I smile to its presence

Grateful for the warmth

Frustration abounds
Obsession and compulsion
Prisoner of self


Thoughts bring peace of mind
Moments shared over distance
Never far away

Scent of a smoke fire
Kicking fallen sidewalk leaves
Senses of autumn

Convicted beliefs
No concerns for acceptance
Liking who I am

Whether fear or love
Feelings passing through my mind
Do not define me

Even though it's dry
The rain will come again soon
Creativity

Fear paralyzes
Each resentment bleeds the heart
Just for now accept

Blooming love within
Soul gratified and complete
Resolute in joy

Airplanes and towers
Forever we remember
Memories and tears

Memory kept alive
Selfless giving sacrifice
The Gonzo Momma

Loved ones remembered
Lives that live on in our soul
Never forgotten

Embracing each day
Life constantly in motion
Courage to face change

Easy to express
Feelings that are deep within
Moments you can share

Twelve steps to freedom
Willingness to grow concede
Simple not easy

Gentle wind blowing
Sun lighting up clouds peeking
Smells of happiness


Everything changes
Sun does rise and sun does set
Everything changes

With courage comes change
Full circle of life completes
Taste new beginnings
