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.

My own image

I belong to the
magnitude of the sky and
the depth of oceans
I emit vibes of calmness,
trust, freedom and cohesion.
~~

Positivity
is my eternal message
learn balance from me.
My hues evoke divine link,
I understand emotions.
~~

Many mysteries
dwell in the bottom of blue
my heart beats with them
I enhance exploration,
my expanse is limitless.

Spring Delights #TankaTuesday

Spring Delights

Open
all the windows
welcome the morning breeze
look at the pine branches
decked by tiny
cute guests.

They sing
rhythmically
flit in and out of leaves
dancing to the spring tunes
fill our hearts with
delight.

Perfect
time to step out
behold Mother Nature’s
awesome yellow attire –
fields of mustard
flowers.

#Haibun #Poetry 24 Seasons…

Autumn Ambles In

Waiting to dislodge the domain of summer, she dawdles on the sidewalk, watching the shenanigans of Mother Nature.  Supported by blazing sun, the dog days of summer linger but they match my yearning of breezy afternoons, of chaste colors lending exquisite grandeur to the new season.

watch morning glory,
as a new coolness vibrates
autumn ambles in.

#Choka #Syllabic #Poetry

Cold Dew

Cold dew diffuses
rainbow colors I admire,
first rays of sun glint
on the leaves of juniper,
morning chill drapes me
I walk by the vibrant trees 
leaves fill the sidewalk
the child in me takes delight
in stepping on them and smile
