An afternoon walk
Journeying through the quiet
With only my mind

Tonight’s Sunset: A Haiku
The descending sun
Vibrant colors bursting forth
With life resetting
Went for a walk this evening. Met my Fitbit step goal, got some lovely photos, and did some thinking. A great way to spend an hour.
Memories of a fading Seattle
Many memories
Walking past the empty halls
In winter’s darkness
Ages ago I lived in Seattle’s heart. At that point, beginning a transformation, becoming the economic behemoth of our now. Then we were still the refuge of the poor, downtrodden. Suburban business professionals drifting through, vanishing as the clock struck five. The flurry of buses and cars carrying them away, far away from us. I found myself wandering nighttime streets, streetlights and gentle rain accompanying my steps. An urban beauty.
A Haiku From My Walk
Moving through mid-day
I step outside and reclaim
Focus and vision
Walking deliberately
Walking with focus
Moving deliberately, then
Catching this image
Views from my walk
Evening wanderings
Dusk settling upon me
Springtime’s blossoms call
Walking Memories: A Haiku
Reflect on myself
Walking upon these same streets
Changed and new blended.
Walking Memories
Walking upon old roads
My childhood feet trode.
Memories, feelings lurking
Forgotten flit forth, bird-like;
A flicker upon consciousness
Vanishing like morning fog
Leaving no trace save the
Dream-like phantom reflection
Of my youth.
Suburban Steps
Weariness grabs my soul
Dragging eyes downwards
Below my stride, footsteps
Striking quietly upon
Concrete, stone, pedestrian
Elements of suburban life.
