My Heart Gets Wings..

For Haiku Heights: Beginning

Alarm screams,
I get up for morning walk
A good beginning..

Written for OSI Prompt: Calmed and Haiku Heights: Beginning

Calm, quiet and serene
Beginning of a new day
A Happy Sunrise


Written for OSI Prompt: Calmed

My Heart Gets Wings

Sun rises, and I…
I hold the moment
In my mind’s eye
Then sit with my eyes closed
Focus on my breathe
Slowly a beam of light
Glimmers and glows
From deep inside
My heart gets wings
I find myself flying
Piercing skies
And then gliding and then
Sitting on a branch
Of a tree opposite
To where I sit, yes,
I can see myself
Calmed and composed
Oblivious to the world around
And then deep silence
Engulfs my being slowly..
and slowly… and then…
……………………….
I open my eyes
Sun has come up
Many moments appear
To have gone by…
I rub my hands
And massage my face
Becoming fully alive
I welcome the day
A bundle of thoughts
Is trying to get disentangled
Which dissolves, as
An unseen power
Presents itself and
It’s calm and quiet
Very pure and serene
But then where was I
In those moments
Which passed by
In between closing and
Opening of my eyes
I wonder and it’s this
Wonderment that
Makes my days beautiful
As each moment floats
In a flow, it’s bliss
And I wait for another Sunrise...

    I envy your ability to close your eyes and let your thoughts go...my mind is usually too cluttered to let that happen. I loved your calming poems!

    Nice haikus, but I just love the longer poem. It really is an amazing mystery where one goes during that meditative journey. Beautiful!

    @ Rameshji...I liked the simplicity of both the haikus and the way they were interlinked in concept, with one another. And I enjoyed the poetry thoroughly! Cheers!
