Some Moments
As we drift in
the stream of
our days we
come upon
odd moment
evokes our wit,
smile that wash
the doldrums,
discover merits
in our selves
that have been
buried in the
dimmer days, like
little gold nuggets
found in sand, they
brighten our spirits.

No Quitting
No Quitting
All my youth I’ve been
searching for my dream
in the sea of the blue world
now that I’m old-young,
still, I’m hopping.
Masochist or
a placid idiot, I don’t care
what they say. this
my endeavor will go on
until the sea turns into me and
I, the sea, for all I have
is the tenacity.

On a windy January day,
talking to you
and sniffing at the berries,
surprised at your scent
fresh and sweet as summer's day!

Tanka
winter gray evening
feeling down to the ground
writing to an old friend
sudden sunlight fills in my heart
wakes the dozing Spring maiden

Human Body and Mind…
Human Body and Mind, like children in need of discipline
After several months of suffering
from insomnia, finally, it returned to normal;
practicing the right regiment worked,
I thought, but this time it goes oppositely:
sleeping too much; like the more money
we have, the more money we want.
Luckily, we have a choice
to control our minds.

Winter Haiku
bare tree limbs conduct
the sad song of Northern Wind
first snowflakes dance away
