Haiku by The Professor of Poetic Philosophy

Posted on Jun 9th, 2006 by S.I.A. : Sam I Am S.I.A.

All of the following Haiku are found here on zaadz.com spread out over notes on my own photos, blog comments, friend invite requests, etc., written by 0ne-self since becoming a member. They were all written with a context (a photo, a blog, the message I was sending, etc.) but WordFire said they stand alone well enough. Check back periodically as new ones will be added as they flow through me.  >>> My Haiku Now At...

all that i am now
all that i am to become
i am what i am

* * *

like a good neighbor
we all share the same planet
a zaadz friend is there

* * *

chow for now obi
jedi knight strong with the force
which side are you on

balance of the force
is the only path to bliss
either or’s a miss

as the sun rises
out of sight the moon exists
in time the sun sets

all things have their day
by night they are dismantled
reborn tomorrow

tomorrow’s not now
the now is all that exists
no longer does it

do you exist now
half way between dark & light
balancing the force

* * *

why can’t i sleep now
time to sleep when i am dead
life beckons me now

* * *

beautiful flower
is so from what is inside
not from where it grows

* * *

i’m not a Guru
i only do what i do
as part of life’s stew

* * *

flaming word fire
therapeutic heat rising
heals like cool water

* * *

what is light & dark
balance between each other
2 paths live as 1

2 sides of a coin
standing upright on it’s side
in perfect balance

* * *

new life to the world
all i need is a worm now
after now is now

* * *

keeping it simple
not as simple as it sounds
simple minds know much

enlightened mind knows
too much info is heavy
not light like feather

* * *

bring joy to the world
a life’s purpose in a name
love expressed is joy

* * *

you reach out & touch
a fellow person’s heartbeat
so they feel their own

* * *

to prosper is good
as long as it harms no one
give back by living

* * *

if you know your self
then you are on the right path
to know your purpose

* * *

a ray of sunshine
light, enlightens everything
the world around you

see the world you make
your reality IS you
no separation

* * *

going beyond self
i found the one within me
i metta god once

* * *

love is more than real
how we think of it is false
don’t think love, feel it

don’t want, you must know
love is only energy
give love to receive

everything is real
existence is in the mind
always mind your heart

* * *

(the following Haiku were left within the body of the message for context from my zaadz ambassador's application)

my ambassadorship/Survey for S.I.A.

1) How are we going to change the world together?

by changing my underwear daily, changing a babies diaper, & changing my mind; in othe words it’s in the daily things we all must do while being open & flexible enough to adapt (change our minds) to lifes challenges by growing from the negatives we perceive in life & useing the crap (hence the underwear & diaper references) that life throws at us as fertilizer for the seeds (zaadz) of the 0ne, within 0ne-self & within every-0ne (every-0ne-self)

we can’t change the world
we can only change our-selves
this is my power

2) What do you love most about Zaadz?

great concept that lives
within the hearts of many
like seeds within fruit

it’s growth potential
potential to help ‘seeds’ grow
clean simple design

in the fall we plant
in the stillness life awaits
to spring forth & live

3) If you could create your own functional Zaadz tool, what would it be and how would it be used?

a video IM connection for an unlimited # of people to communicate 1 on 1 privately or in groups at scheduled times, in open forums, or any time around group agendas or casual conversations

busy like a bee
i see you & you see me
common-unity

4) What is your Philosophy in two sentences?

two sentences:

what is my 2 cents
embrace the sentient 1
avoid the non-sense

within the silence
no thing is the only thing
i know what i hear

5) Anything else you’d like to tell us?

this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship…

she wouldn’t leave me
i had to be strong for both
sacrifice for life

* * *

(watch the slide show of my main photo album to read these in context of each self portrait they were written for)

dawn of a new day
darkside of my moon shaped face
i find peace inside

tehuti knows truth
double measure of 0ne-self
i-n-i are 1

my view is askew
3rd eye is left of center
sebek plays both roles

living in the light
the dark side becomes jealous
you can't run from self

i spy with my eye
something just out of the frame
think outside the box

snap-shot, I C U
damaged soul i'm cut in 2
1 thing left to do

1 things real, i am
the image in the mirror
amounts to no-thing

relaxed & at ease
contemplating what will please
spirit within me

eye see myself, click
sam eye am, pun intended
my photo, of self

penny for my thoughts
but i'm trapped inside my mind
freedom isn't cheap

spirit from above
i am it & it is i
i reach up to it

* * *

the 1st seed planted
out of 1 comes the many
and so the world grows


* * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * *

love is not nothing
nothing is needed to love
love is all you need

* * * * * * * * *
as of 6/12/06
* * * * * * * * *

static energy
without love the world is cold
lifeless to the touch

to defeat the cold
word-fire heats the world up
with love in action

* * *

why five seven five
why do we look to the sky
why do we ask why

to know the answer
1st contemplate the question
then don't question it

solutions exist
in the fluid state of life
constantly changing

to crystalize them
life must 1st evaporate
no point in knowing

answers can't go with
the salt of the earth stays put
waiting for the rain

the sky opens up
seeds of life rain down to earth
waking up the dust

* * * * * * * * *
as of 6/14/06
* * * * * * * * *

can't always say yes
to say yes to every-0ne
is no to 0ne-self

[see @0ne blog]

* * * * * * * * *
as of 6/15/06
* * * * * * * * *

dragons fly in dreams
slumber preserves the sacred
dawn calls it to life

glimmering ripple
floating above the placid
dragonfly hovers

* * *

neo is the one
mix the letters like the mind
you are born anew

* * *

red pill or blue pill
to know or not to know truth
so simple it's not

* * *

seldom does one hear
true words of encouragement
you are courageous

* * *

all things have meaning
self reflection shines outward
echoing you back

* * *

the love of parents
naturally occurs from birth
to the parents death

the love of the child
is a condition that fades
to love it's parents

for love is fleeting
except for those who chase it
actions over words

love should be a verb
demonstrated by our life
all there is is love

* * * * * * * * *
as of 6/17/06
* * * * * * * * *

lonely on the road
seeds keeping you company
dancing a world beat

* * *

cancer is a sign
it is neither bad nor good
it's the choice you make

* * *

seek less about more
all i know is i don't know
not more about less

* * *

to blog or not to
what is it i have to say
subconscious typing

* * * * * * * * *
as of 6/21/06
* * * * * * * * *

i dreamt a dream once
it went on for a life time
in death i awoke

* * * * * * * * *
as of 6/24/06
* * * * * * * * *
 
perspective is key
it not what is that matters
but how we see it
 
* * *
 
tap into the source
sip the sweet flowing nectar
the essence of life
 

* * * * * * * * *
as of 6/28/06
* * * * * * * * *
 
luscious aint enough
have a compassionate heart
compliments the lust

passion is the heat
that is the fuel of the heart
but who navigates

the mind of the 0ne
within 0ne-self is your guide
as with every-0ne


were shall we go now
that the passion is awake
only in circles

use passion’s power
to fuel a new life’s journey
past who you are now

who will you become
pay attention to your thoughts
keys to your future

the future is now
one door with multiple locks
which key will you choose

choice is our power
that will change our destiny
or else repeat it

repetition is
the mother of invention
yet we recycle
