Soft light filters in.
Let’s take a moment to breathe.
Let the world slow down.
Here are 9 gentle haikus to soothe your spirit and bring a little more peace to your day. Read them slowly, like sips of warm tea. Let them linger.
🍃 1. Morning Stillness
Mist clings to branches,
quiet stirs beneath the leaves—
a new day exhales.
Takeaway: Let your mornings unfold gently, like fog lifting.
🌊 2. Ocean Breath
Waves roll in and out,
like lungs of the quiet earth—
I remember peace.
Takeaway: Return to your breath when the mind feels stormy.
🕊️ 3. Letting Go
A leaf on the breeze—
no struggle, no destination.
Just a gentle fall.
Takeaway: Letting go isn’t giving up. It’s trusting the wind.
🌸 4. In the Moment
Petals float in tea,
sunlight plays on quiet walls—
nothing else exists.
Takeaway: Beauty lives in the pauses we often rush past.
🌙 5. Evening Calm
Lanterns flicker low,
the day folds into silence—
soft stars blink hello.
Takeaway: Allow night to be a time of tender closing.
🐚 6. Listening Inward
Shell against my ear—
not the sea, but my own pulse.
I finally hear.
Takeaway: Quiet helps us notice what’s already within.
🌲 7. Rooted Stillness
The pine stands patient,
not reaching, not resisting—
just being, deeply.
Takeaway: You are enough, even in stillness.
🐦 8. Lightness Returns
A bird lifts upward,
no map, no need for a path—
just wings and the wind.
Takeaway: Trust your lightness. It knows the way forward.
🔥 9. Inner Glow
Candle in the dusk,
its flicker soft but steady—
stillness has its spark.
Takeaway: Your calm is not empty—it quietly shines.
Let these little poems be invitations—not instructions.
Moments of pause, of peace,
of remembering that slowness is sacred.
