Time for Haiku

 Time for Haiku


Who knows where time goes

Vanishes into nothing

Or melts into tears


People come and go

Civilizations rise...fall

Sun rises, sun sets


Two loving hearts merge

History repeats itself

New baby is born


The clock ticks and tocks

Woman able to give birth

Life begets new life


Seedling sprouts through soil

Maple reaches for the light

Makes our pancakes sweet


Worker punches in

The engine of industry

Thanks for your service


To keep fears at bay

Glowering idols of stone

What are our idols?


Sun rises and shines

Sets into shadowy night

Moon, thanks for your light


Happens by itself

One’s heart just keeps on beating

The rhythm of life


Mountains rise and fall

Just ticks in eternity

Humans are just blips

Songs God Hears

Muslims’ call to prayer, five times a day. A blues man pouring out his wounded heart. A song writer strumming and singing his truth. School kids piping-up their innocent songs. A family caroling outside Grandma’s door. A lover serenading the love of his life. A mother’s lullaby to her sleepy baby. Baptists, Catholics, Buddhists, Muslims, Blues Men, Song Writers, School Kids, Carolers, Lovers, Moms. Which ones does God hear? If you hear them, doesn’t God?

My Destiny

  My Destiny I’m writing my destiny now. Each man is an island if he chooses to be. I’m understanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he chooses to connect. I’m loving my destiny now. No man is an island if he leads with his heart. I’m expanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he ventures beyond himself. I’m sharing my destiny now. I’m bridging one island to another by sharing my truth from an unguarded heart. I’m living my destiny moment to moment now. My heart is hearing what yours has to say. I’m living my destiny now. My destiny is now, living each moment with an open heart.

Real Change or Just Pocket Change

  Real Change or Just Pocket Change      You can’t change the people around you.      But you can change the people around you.                                                      Anonymous You can’t change peoples’ behaviors, but you can surround yourself with different people. How? Look to yourself. The people around you are there for a reason. And the reason is you. They are around you to be a mirror for you, a reflection of your own behavior. They are there to teach you something. If you don’t like what’s in the mirror - the behavior that they are presenting - then you need to change yourself.  There’s no changing others, only yourself. If you want to hang with a group more authentic, be authentic yourself. That’s real change, not just pocket change.
