Zen Verses

Expressing the stream of thoughts that come to mind through the minimal form of Haiku.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Today you are blessed,
The sun has risen again,
And you are present.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Before letting go,
Feel the grief, loss and despair,
The pain of right now.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Exercise control,
Do not give in to excess,
Measured in response.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Recognise the end,
Notice before it happens,
There is no surprise.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Expecting outcomes,
When things are beyond control,
Path of misery.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Lay beneath the trees,
How they reach into the sky,
Forget everything.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Playing in the park,
The world is bigger than me,
I chase after birds.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

To be frugal is,
To stand firmly on the ground,
Both humble and wise.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Experience loss,
The pain of disappointment,
It will pass in time.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Winds gentle kisses,
On top of a dead oak tree,
Sun beams down on me.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Appreciation,
It should be given daily,
To those that you love.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Think before you act,
For you cannot take away,
What is said and done.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Choose to be gentle,
Not always an easy path,
But one that bears fruit.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

A moment of rage,
Notice how it grows, and feels,
Let it wash away.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Do you think fire scares me?
I was born in flames.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

The best medicine,
Forces you to change yourself,
It tastes like poison.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Accept what you can,
The most difficult challenge,
Force yourself to grow.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Listening closely,
The root of understanding,
Clear away your mud.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

How you choose to see,
What is right in front of you,
Is most important.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Challenge of the past,
How you once ruled over me,
And now you are dust.

[Zen Verses @ZenVerses]

Nothing will be learned,
Inside a place of comfort,
Where you cannot grow.
