Silenced
the things that i would do if i were brave
i’d look you in the eyes and speak my mind
i wouldn’t worry what you’d think or say
the things that i would do if i were brave
but i’m a coward, worried you won’t stay
i die a bit each day to pass the time…
the things that i would do if i were brave
i’d look you in the eyes and speak my mind

people don’t really want to know
how you’re doing or where you’re from
they don’t care if you’re feeling glum
that’s tmi, just let it go
it’s just polite, it’s not a slight,
a nicety that means “hello”
they’ll ask, just smile, don’t succumb
people don’t really want to know

savor each moment’s bliss
dawn’s sparkling threads of light
buds with dewdrops clinging
fluttering wings in flight
fragrant breezes, warblers trilling
savor each moment’s bliss
cups of tea, honey sweet
sleepy morning sighs
ling’ring between cool sheets
pale cerulean skies
savor each moment’s bliss
acts of random kindness
miracles in the wings
havens from the madness
important things, not things
savor each moment’s bliss
such beauty all around
breath of heaven hov’ring
the blessings to be found
moments spent discov’ring

it’s instinctual
swimming comes naturally
unless you’re a rock 😊

For Haiku Horizons prompt word: Swim
planets
in retrograde
pale full moon lunacy
seaside tides; gray matter swelling
bonkers
