#TankaTuesday #Haibun

In Wilderness

Unknown paths don’t scare me now. A forest feigns a comforting arm, trees tantamount to companions with a difference and hours seem to stand still. Am I drifting into eremitism? Far away from the madness of the world, from the conflicting views of the mighty and the powerful, from the digital devices that are worse than termites, I wander in the wilderness, wondering when I will find a better place.

A little darkness
A little light – both allure
unpredictable.

  1. This is a beautiful and hopeful post. We all need to escape into nature and be reborn and replenished. You have caught that here 💜💜💜

  3. Powerful words Balroop. I just came from another blog who also wrote about a great pause from digital devices. We all need it. 🙂 x

  4. The mystery of wilderness is powerful and alluring like you said, Balroop. A beautiful piece, and as much as I love blogging, a break from devices is healthy now and then. 💕

  6. What a nice and somehow refreshing share Balroop. I hear the call of nature and the peace of a place away of chaos and hyper connectivity.

    Have a sweet day!

  10. Beautiful, Balroop. Nothing like the call of the forest and to leave the world behind.

  18. We all need to take a walk in the woods you share in your poem, Balroop. How beautiful! It is out of the darkness that the light looks the brightest. 💛

  19. Beautiful poem, Balroop ji. One way to safeguard ourselves from the madness is to shut it out. I think, a lot of us are ‘drifting into eremitism’. I love the word.
