Assessment in Haiku

Cold, stark, time bereft
of needs for shaping my life
according to me.

*****

Winter’s long short-fall
melts into spring, blossoming
possibilities ’round.

*****

Change not fast enough —
comes the feverish breaking
sweat to achieve now.

*****

This hunger
is outside beyond
need, we ache.

Broken Camera

Camera dies and
spring possibilities fade
disappear neatly.

Guide Me

Even my own voice
offends my ears of late, all
I want is Your words.
