Dawn of a new day
A blank slate awaits us all
Let us not waste it

Dawn Calls Upon Me (Haiku)
Dawn calls upon me
Her robes, red, orange, blue–calming
Life’s resurrection

Fluttering Open (Tanka)
Fluttering open
Struggling to clear the haze
Another morning
What will this new day behold
Everything as intended

Eyes Close For The Day (Haiku)
Eyes close for the day
Preparing for tomorrow
Start with a clean slate

A New Day
A new day,
Erupting with the rise of the tangerine sun,
Just the hint of a paper moon for company before it waves goodbye.
The chance for a fresh beginning,
A farewell to the past.
Yesterday is gone,
Relegated to history…never to return.
‘Tis the beauty of birth–
Offered with each midnight stroke
Comes the infancy of the virgin day.
Is this not a wondrous affair,
A gift not to be squandered?
Wallowing in regret serves no one,
Doing nothing, but smothering the soul;
Lashing out violently–
Becoming master if permitted.
Embrace this moment,
Releasing the past to its tomb.
O’ the possibilities that await us,
With the opportunity to be reinvented
–By the casting of our dreams.

In Mornings Quiet (Haiku)
In mornings quiet
Nighttime chill bows to the sun

Mornings Ritual
Sumatran wafts through silent home
Gently caressing the olfactory.
Warm rays of gold wash across rested faces,
Coaxing them to greet the day.
Is this the making of perfection,
What Heaven on earth must be like?
~
Morning stings the unaccustomed eyes;
Only temporary as adrenaline trickles
Leading us back to life.
So miraculous, so mundane,
Routine in its simplicity, this art of waking,
Rising from slumber.
~
Taking in the new day
Like breath Into lungs, body, soul,
Thankful for all that I have,
All that I will give.
With cup…steaming…
I am ready to meet the day.
