Once young and alert
Outside, where you loved to be
Now inside with me

Haiku: ‘Letting Go’
Water through my hands
Fresh running streams of my heart
I am letting go

Poem: ‘Heed’
Florescent green banners snaking
in the blue;
Polaris over my head,
such beacons of the kingdom
drawing like a magnet,
beckoning closer to ice smothered peaks
of estranged lands;
the incessant drum of the shaman,
ancestors screaming from my heart,
imploring me: “Remember this.”

Haiku: ‘Two Sides of Falling’
Change is beautiful
Corvids squawk their acceptance
I do not comply

Haiku: ‘Clarity’
Reflective moments
Maybe thoughts will take me there
Clarity of mind
