Mythos & Marginalia

life notes; flaws and all


a daily breath

  • haiku 4 you

    why did you
    do what you
    did?

  • dare we glance back?

    Is this world as fractured
    as we are led to believe?
    Politically, ideologically,
    or spiritually, fault lines
    are obvious.
    It is not superficial.
    Are all thoughts jumbled
    or is that just me?
    Can we look ahead? Dare we
    glance back? What was there?
    Is what we see now all
    that is worth knowing?
    Can we learn more?
    Do we want to?
    Do we need to?

  • good morning

  • another chance

    The Moon hangs low,

    yet the Sun still rises.

    Each day

    we have another chance

    to shine a little brighter.

    Rise up.

    Be radiant.

  • waiting for rain

    Throughout the day they
    cautioned of rain. Overcast, 
    occasional sprinkles, but 
    the downpour held off
    until the evening hours. 
    When it came, it came.
    I had waited 
    throughout the day, 
    putting off many things 
    I had to do, not entirely sure 
    what I wanted. Or why.
    A day of suspense. 
    Very little happened.
