I glide through the air
painting over the gray clouds
a rainbow in motion
Affirmations are powerful tools for healing. I started writing haiku a long time ago. More recently, my growing interest in personal growth led me to align the haiku form with the personal affirmation.
This haiku is one example. If you enjoy the discipline of writing in the haiku form (traditionally 17 syllables split into three lines - 5/7/5), I suggest writing your own affirmation in the form of a haiku.
One technique I use to write personal affirmations is to take ten minutes to free-write. Free writing is writing down any thoughts you have without worrying about grammar, form, creativity, or anything really. Once I have all my thoughts down, I circle the powerful words. If some of the words are negative, I rephrase them into a positive to create an affirmation to deal with any issues that may be lingering in my mind.
Another technique I use to write affirmation haiku is to find a photo that inspires me and write a haiku about it.
May the peace and the light of the world be with you. Thank you for reading.

The Darkest Eclipse
Eclipse of darkness; an entity that creeps in every few decades, to steal the memories of the enlightened ones. These people were called The Chosen Ones. They were extraordinary people, with divine destiny's. They each possessed memories so powerful, that they could change the fabric of existence. The god of death could not have that, so it would alter the universe by creating a being, that was not good, nor evil, but had a duty embedded into its very essence.
