I was filing away some notes at work today and came across a couple of haikus that I had scrawled left-handed in the margin during a meeting last month. (Yes, I was paying attention … just multi-tasking. heh) I just had Nathan on my mind and these two poems took shape.

Sometimes I like to write left-handed whenever I need to think or when I’m journaling/trying to wind down my brain. I haven’t journaled much since I started blogging, but there’s something about putting pen to paper that helps me think more clearly. In a meeting or seminar, if I’m just holding a pen, I pay attention better – even if I’m not taking notes. I’m weird; yes, I know. :p

Here are the two haikus I found:

my brother is gone
where is he?
apart from this world

grief like rolling clouds
overwhelmed!
sun will shine again
