Haiku Horizons

Look

I dress to impress

whilst others appear ragged - 

Fine threads make the man! 

Haiku Horizons

Commit

The pledge to one's self
can endure trying hardships
by one's inner strength

Haiku Horizons

Choose

Possibilities

surround us and they close in.

We are paralyzed. 

Haiku Horizons

Cat

With large, looming eyes,

feline stalks on prey, yet,

scared of its shadow.

Haiku Horizons

Fly

Fly above the terror,

through the haze of hot hatred

to friendship and peace.

*Inspired by horrific attacks in Brussels, Belgium. My heart goes out to all those affected.

Haiku Horizons

Mind

Bane of ignorance

Yet, it still ensnares reason

when logic departs

Haiku Horizons

Thorns

A treat for the eyes.

Yet, dangerous to the touch.

Beware beauty's lure.

Haiku Horizons

Secret

With only hushed tones,

soft whispers flutter about

revealing half-truths.

Haiku Horizons

Song

Birds gliding about,

chirping tranquil melodies - 

hollowed trees rejoice!

Zappai of the Day

Head above the clouds

Eyes toward the horizon -

Face against the wind

Zappai of the Day

Endless Sky

Lonely running lands

lead to horizons unknown

beneath stars unbound.

Zappai of the Day

Olympic Theoi

listen and smile upon

those that are pious.

Zappai of the Day

Ancient rituals

are revived from times long past.

Incense fills the air.

Zappai of the Day

Over soaring cliffs,

amidst the green rolling hills,

lies Emerald Isle.

Zappai of the Day

To those that make Noise,

whose sounds disturb fragile peace,

are deaf to music.

Zappai of the Day

Yearning for freedom,

I struggle against censors

that muzzles my voice.

Zappai of the Day

Adrift and afar,

I wander off without aim

'till my path opens.

Zappai of the Day

Oh, so close to her,

I hear my hearbeat racing -

butterflies abound!

Spontaneous Zappai

Alone, looking out,

I gazed into the darkness;

back to sleep I went.

Zappai of the Day

A strong desire swells

to forge paths yet to be known.

Dawn's light shines brightly.
