balter

∴ mountain ascent, this grueling endeavor
trail winds cut through, going on forever
beneath scorching sun, rugged holds i climb
at the summit, i balter, lost in the sublime ∴

vexatious

∴ unfettered spirit
vexations fade in my wake
unstoppable me ∴1

  1. taking some liberty with the prompt, it’s been a minute since picking up anything by Takuan Soho. nonetheless, this is inspired by him, complete with its ‘aphorism-ish’ quality. ↩︎

credence

∴ three-fifteen lingers
Lyme’s sweat-stained strife
brain fog thickens
obscuring life’s credence

in stillness, resilience reemerges
threading peace into existence ∴

eagles

∴ winter river’s edge
eagles scanning for dinner
frozen meals to go ∴1

  1. went eagle-watching, and all I got was this goofy haiku. always a fun outing, and with a little luck and timing, more will be viewed going forward. ↩︎
