Haiku for New Year’s Resolutions

By

Joseph
Anthony

 

It’s customary to make New Year’s
Resolutions. 

Unfortunately it’s also customary to
break them. 

It is my hope that these little poems
will help you pick one resolution

and succeed in that one resolution

before embarking on another.

You can make conscious decisions

To change your life

Anytime.

So pick one.  Bring a friend along.

Let your every step be a prayer.

And then 

pray some more.

Happy New Year. 

Blessings to you and yours.

Love,

Joseph

 

The Haiku

 

a list a mile long / of new year’s resolutions
/

will slip through your hands

***

think with your heart / infuse these thoughts
with the soul /

and then begin the journey

***

one resolution / wept over in silence / brings
angels to your side

***

one resolution / shared with a single friend /

will cause both souls to change

***

one resolution / tended to like a garden / will
yield crops of light

***

one resolution / held like a seed inside / will
give birth to joy

***

one resolution / that you keep forever /
becomes a light for all

***

make a single change / and the whole landscape
changes /

into an orchard

***

the thing you need to change / awaits your
letting it go /

into God’s hands

***

putting it in God’s hands / means share it with
a friend /

that is your prayer

***

big steps, little steps / just keep on walking
/

or better yet, keep dancing

***

the road to freedom / is not a solitary road /
walk with the world

***

walk through fear’s dark woods / with a friend
at your side /

and the way opens clear

***

One last one (not a haiku) J

A Re-solution is like a re-run. Make one
heartful, mindful decision

to make one heartful, mindful decision,

and experience success.

***

Peace and Light.
