You have mail

Yay! for the mail carrier who brings good news
On days when you'd otherwise be singing the blues
Life turns around in unexpected ways
And brings sudden surprises on grey-ish days
A reminder, I guess, to count our blessings
Since forgetting the roses is one of our biggest failings

One, two, three

Let the waves wash over me
Vibrating my soul so endlessly
I move to the beat and let myself fly
Knowing inside one day I'll die
Until then I want to live and breathe
Feeling a rhythm that will never deceive

Run

Help me find that ounce of grace
That will help me run this long-distance race
Keep me on top of all these facts
That will get me through the many acts
Excitement is now the adrenaline
Fueling each early morning spin
I just hope that it will last
And not become another part of the past

Merry go round

Another round we go
Where it stops we don't know
This time was okay
Next time, who's to say?
At least our minds are at rest
That we did our very best

Hermit crab

A river of sand fills my eyes
Settling on me a heaviness that never lies
Claiming sleep the body craves
While every gesture one that saves
Time for me and you as well
For tis time to climb out of this shell

Energizer!

Never a dull moment
In a mother's day
From first rays, until the sunset
Her will-power is the only way
A constant engine chugging along
Making sure all things get done
And only collapsing at the end
When every last battle has been won!

Delicious rays

To brighten a day
Seeing sun in November
Like icing on cake

A haiku ode to a so-far awesome November!

Past and present

Old friends and new
The faces of youth ring a bell
I remember those shoes, the slouch
And I remember it so well
Been there before
Seen that keen-ness and felt it too
After all this time
I hope it works much better for you

Punched in

First day jitters disolved
Now to get through the grind
Without losing my mind
Knowing in part helps
But feeling the cramping
Is highly disheartening
Must just push through
It's the best thing to do

Fight or flight

Beware the Jabberwocky
It will eat your fear
And grow more hideous
With each passing year
The bigger it grows
The harder 'twill be
To do what you will
Independently
But slay it small
And you will see
That it weren't so fearsome
As made out to be
Just frightful enough
To keep you in check
On the road well trod
So you won't deflect
But if your heart
Be something stronger
Then hack away
And dream that much longer
