Clouds of guilt gather Decisions had to be made No time for regret Growth happens through pain When trust has been broken down Life teaches lessons Time heals all our wounds Though some may seem quite fatal Hope in a new day #vss365 #clouds #haiku #life

Still I wait Pressure mounts as the time passes Fear of the unknown grows Fear of the pain grows Ripping the bandage away Will bring both relief and further agony As reprieve may not come my way #vss365 #reprieve #poetry

Late night eloquence is unique Unburdened by reason or discretion Words flow freely Like water released from a reservoir Ideas need not sleep Nor do they care if you do They seek the light of day Regardless of the hour #vss365 #eloquence #poetry

The nose knows The old saying goes A dog’s intuition relies on the scent It captures the wafting waves The drooling begins as it recognizes Its favorite meal making its arrival Beef for breakfast means It’s a good day to be a pup #vss365 #intuition #poetry

What could have been Can still be If not as easily as before The first step is to realize What you really want Or don’t want anymore It’s not selfish to practice self care To become better aware Of a situation or people Not fit for your excellence #poetry #deepthoughts

#vss365 #palimpsest He was just about to throw away the list Written in his grandmother’s familiar script When he discerned faint words In a script like small birds A palimpsest of an earlier person’s wrist

Your palimpsest belies A past you’d rather forget Of the many nights you cried But relief refused to come yet You are your past no more Having grown and learned Life has so much in store But the palimpsest remains a clue That your victory has come at a price #vss365 #palimpsest #poetry

Hiding in plain sight is clever A natural camouflage at work Avoiding detection by the sneaky predator Who dares to reconnoiter in search of a meal While hunting for survival requires strategy So too does remaining cloaked in invisibility for the same purpose #vss365 #reconnoiter #poetry

What speaks from within the silhouette The shadow holds secrets As it tries to keep pace with the light The silhouette knows only what is hidden As much as it holds its shape It can never have physical form It whispers an inaudible message And waits for the echo to return #vss365 #silhouette

Something lives inside the wall Entombed in wax yet breathing Its identity is a mystery to all A new species to this planet Unique in appearance and behavior What fate must have befallen The specimen frozen in time Unable to break free Yet sentenced to eternal life #vss365 #wax #poetry

He could have used agility Or moved gently like a comb Through silken hair To find his way out of the house Where he knew he didn’t belong Instead the panicked pig plowed Through the glass storm door Ruining the expensive entrance And giving Grandma a birthday To remember #vss365 #comb

Feeling remotely at peace Going about life one day at a time Serves as a reminder that slow is okay Small bites consume the meal as well As large chunks taken quickly Living can be overwhelming At times when it is taken in large doses Savor the small servings of joy #vss365 #remote #poetry

Remember how it felt When the future seemed almost unfathomable When the possibilities were endless And the world smiled Remember those feelings when life Is unrecognizable When a reset seems necessary When the smiling faces have disappeared You haven’t lost You haven’t failed Don’t give up

Maybe it’s just a delusion This happy life of some Maybe the point is not to be happy Maybe the point is the searching The constant yearning for more The insatiable desire for better Always seemingly inches away Forever beyond the fingertips Maybe the ride we are to enjoy Leads nowhere
