Haikus Part 5

Bare feet on aged wood;

Serenity, before me.

The sun shines. I smile.

–

Ignited a flame

That dissipates all worries. 

Released sacred fumes.

–

One day comes and goes, 

One thousand days inch along.

Every second flies.

–

I still can’t stay still.

Bursting with raw energy,

I try to unwind.

–

Natural cures help.

Artificial cures buy time.

Internal peace heals.

–

Patience is priceless.

Do not trade it for anger.

Hold onto this gift.

–

Traveling grows minds.

Meditation goes inward.

Practice both in life.

–

Breathing is the key.

It is our minds that are locked

by our emotions.

–

Overthinking leads

to distrust of one’s own thoughts.

Let thoughts pass along.

–

Planes pierce through the sky

but the sky remains unchanged.

Clouds still float, birds soar.
