Haiku
From My Upcoming Collection “Jubilate in Despair”
By Terry JamesPublished 7 years ago • 1 min read

My hard working hands
Cutting and grinding at work
Now ones on the ground.
————————-
Quiet is golden,
No one can judge your silence,
But only ponder.
—————————
I will disappear,
A shadow no light will cast,
Forgotten in time.
—————————-
Lying alone now,
Pondering frequent mistakes,
Past, present, future.
—————————-
Inhaling deeply,
The long road ahead narrow,
Crooked and wicked.
—————————-
A constant battle,
Self against self with no end,
Ever conflicted.
—————————-
Always do my best,
Falling short nearly always,
Hopelessness prevails.
