Living

Living life,

a sacred

opportunity to

chase your dreams,

follow your desires,

be truthful to

yourself as each

day shines bright.

Striving

I strive to

live my life,

trying to release

the weight of guilt

locked to my soul,

this parasite

draining my

sense of self.

How I long to

sever the bind

and live my

precious life.

Each Morning (a tanka)

Each morning begins

with a blessing for the day,

thankful for the life

I lead each passing day, and

mindful of lessons brought forth.

Children.

Curious, open.

Exploring, playing, laughing.

Their words touch hearts.

Free.

Paterson (a cinquain)

City

consumed by floods,

blighted by poverty,

yet its people are resilient,

solid.

Irene's Path (a cinquain)

Irene

came and went, yet

her torrential rains left

behind devastation among

in light.

Hurricane (a cinquain)

Hurricane;

fast, relentless.

Raining, threatening, flooding.

Ruin after the storm.

Tirade.
