Autumn drops a leaf
on sky-coloured still water
gold seeps into blue
blue seeps into me. I am
cloudless, skyless, limitless

There is Buddha

in the still space
between each thought
the Buddha waits

of the water
there is Buddha
of the water
there is Buddha

Secrets of life – haiku
despair chews
at the edges of my mind
wanted : angel
~~~
a lone dewdrop
scintillating with sunlight
rapturous me
~~~
people come and go
with various kinds of baggage
railway station life
~~~
if life had wings
broken and bent they would be
but soaring still
~~~
drowned in the din
of humdrum daily life
soul waits
~~~
so many secrets
mined deep from earth-life
precious I hope
~~~
Conversation – haiku
~~~
you look at me
a poem in your glance
shining silence
~~~
lamp and light
eternal conversation
darkness flees
~~~
the widow listens
sitting on empty bed
feeling him in her bones
~~~
rain and earth
in conversational embrace
seedlings sprout
~~~

Journey to India
deep within my soul
an ancient guru whispers oft
Brahman you are

Carpe Diem prompt – Journey to India
Morning celebration
the sun burns up
the remnants of the night
in unbridled glee
the curtain of sleep
parts in languid slow motion
lets in aliveness
senses awaken
in sweet celebration of
this thing called life
~~~
The day begins
breaking through the shell
of night, dawn peeps, tremulous
at prisoner me
trying to break free
from a self-built prison
yet another day
as sleep fades like mist
and I wake yet again
into illusion
~~~
Carpe Diem prompt – the day begins
Deeper darkness
after fireworks
the silence is clearer
darkness is deeper
(Bjorn Rudberg)
my tongue-in-cheek attempt to complete this 🙂
The stars a-twinkle saying
“goodbye to the imposters”
Fireworks – haiku
blackbird in bird bath
splashing sparkling water drops
silvery fireworks
After a lot of missed ops, I finally got to photograph a bird bathing scene 🙂
