Eroded by life’s troubles,
Quake in fear,
I see it approaching,
Intense and meaningful,
Is a subtle death.

Listening, while feeling lost
In either their words
Or in all of my musings,
Although, never confusing.

The feel
The taste
The sound
The sight
These are your five senses
Useful they are,
When getting a haircut

Rush to the river
Igloos forming
Throughout summer
Enter the main stage
Remain there and reminisce

What you talk and say
as from within you born
fruit of urgent printing
of your accumulated senses
for lifetime repeated

Meaningful

some so very small
others as great as the sky
and many between -
regardless of their nature
all moments are meaningful.
Form: Tanka

Echo

each day echoes the
last one, a cosmic cycle
of gray, cold mornings,
and trying to find purpose
in every single moment.
