Haiku

Chaotic my view
Skewed; Slanted my perception
Need to up my meds


Ripe lovely flower
Sweet and ready for picking
May her petals hold


Spirits that guard me
Forgive me my cowardice
Born with me was fear


To suffer alone
Paradox within the mist
The forest will heal


Sunset comes for me
Shadows welcome arrival
Complete is my loss


See the turning leaves 
Reflected on the surface
Bountiful beauty
