10 Haikus IV

The previous 10

----------

the shadow deepens,
Darkness falls, and I with it,
only one way now.

In secret I'll pray
what only One should, will, hear
Save me from myself

Purify thyself,
wash the sins of old away
only with God's help

pure, light, stunning, bright
everything is coated with white.
under snow's blanket.

The call spans the years:
Lift yourself from oppression
But do I heed it?

Stop messing about
you know as well as I do
this world is empty

I'll plant a tree here,
and see what nature will do
before coming back.

I flipped a coin there,
waiting not for head or tail,
turning as it fell

beauty in nature
manifested from the Lord
never once captured

Materialism rocks
Feeling sad or empty? Buy!
Quick fix for your soul

As always, don't read too much into them

  1. I read worlds into them and I love it.

    The last bit is so true. But how do poor people find a speedy fix?

  2. Television, I guess. Plus gambling, and alcohol.
