Sun Smiles On Me (Haiku)

Sun smiles on me
Uplifting my darkened soul
~~ I have been reborn

In Mornings Quiet (Haiku)

In mornings quiet
Nighttime chill bows to the sun
~ Dawn of a new day

Reborn Every Day (Haiku)

Reborn every day
My latest chance to right wrongs

Encircled In Autumn

Encircled in Autumns chilling grasp,

Warmth of tea cup in my hands I clasp.

Just cool enough for a sweater in evening,

No animosity toward Summers most abrupt leaving.

Crunch of the leaves and the crisp in the air,

Young and old attitude, devil-may-care.

Breathing in freely a new lease on life,

Renewing loves vows of husband to wife.

Truly beauty exists in the wane of the year,

Another season born, greeted with cheer.

As winter approaches and darkness takes hold,

We all settle in for long months of cold.

Please do not obsess and never you fear,

Take comfort in the arms of those you hold dear.

For this, as surely as winter won’t last,

Time and time again as done in the past.

Daily the sun rises and Spring will return,

A lesson in grade school we all must have learned.

Rebirth – A Tanka

This place I stand now

The pinnacle of my life

Like the beginning

Everyday is a new day

Another chance for rebirth

The sky glows orange

Signaling the end of day

A new beginning

The Optimist

Who we are right now,

Will become a shadow,

A flashback to who we are.

We evolve by the second,

We can change who we are in an instant,

Becoming someone reinvented,

Exhibiting new talents,

Changing how we represent ourselves,

Born anew.

The person we had always dreamed we’d be,

All by our thoughts and efforts.

We are who we want to be because we will it,

Making demands on ourselves and our circumstances.

We force the people and things surrounding us to change,

Or we change the people and things around us.

Either way we are reborn.

The person we were yesterday is no more,

Say hello to the contemporary you.
