I Sit on a Rock, Moon Walks on Clouds..



My 200th HAPPY POST
(My dash board says it is so)

LET ME TAKE YOU TO A WORLD WHERE JOY AND HAPPINESS EXTEND THEIR
ARMS TO EMBRACE YOU..AND THAT WORLD IS SPREAD IN THE “HERE AND NOW”

Written for OSI Prompt : HUMILITY

Thanks to Roberts for the prompt..


I Sit on a Rock, Moon Walks on Clouds...
(A chain of haikus)


I sit on a rock
Feet don’t reach water below
Lo! Waves jump to touch..

Lo! Waves jump to touch..
I feel sprinkles on my soul
Setting Sun smiles

Setting Sun smiles
Telling me to sink with it, ah,
I come out of depths

I come out of depths
Restless eyes look for heights
Mind jumps on the chance

Mind jumps on the chance
Let’s pride walk in quietly
Humility knows

Humility knows
She holds the heart tightly,
Heart beats soft and strong

Heart beats soft and strong
Keeps arrogance at bay
I detach myself

I detach myself
Pride melts, arrogance faints
Humility stays

Humility stays
Setting Sun beckons again
Dancing waves gleam gold

Dancing waves gleam gold
Sea of feelings settle, and
Moon walks on clouds

Moon walks on clouds
Softness soothes my soul ‘n mind
Moonbeam’s gentle touch

Moonbeam’s gentle touch
Happiness spills from my eyes
Stars roll down the cheeks

Stars roll down the cheeks
Moon, clouds and sea merge
God, let the dream stay

God let the dream stay
Fluttering wings of thoughts
I sit on a rock

******





I have timed it to coincide with Sunday so as to link it with OSI, the site which encouraged me and became my gateway to the world of blogging..a world which is so beautiful and oft times pretty magical.. what with such wonderful creative talents sharing their thoughts with each other, offering a gift of understanding, a gift we all cherish..I certainly do.

A big thank you to all who have visited this space, who visit regularly and who would be visiting in the days to come..

A special thanks to those who have chosen to follow ..my writings...this is indeed very encouraging and a touching gesture.. God Bless!!!

    Super imagery and wonderful thoughts and ideas which are also well worded RS!!

    The humility of the waves and the Sun is terrific :)
    "Waves jump to touch."
    "Setting Sun smiles"
    has something electrifying in it

    "Pride melts, arrogance faints"
    generates a sense of great joy!!

    "Moon walks on clouds"
    can feel her dominance and gentleness in the same breath!!

    Love the way the entire universe merges together humbly in your dream, teaching us, insignificant man on earth, the true way to be humble!!

    Nanka says it so beautifully ( as always) and I concur with her comments.

    Sitting on a rock is a wonderful peaceful thing to do. Knowing the rocks have been around far longer than any human brings humility to mind. Thank you for all of your writing.

    Heartiest Congratulations on your 200th post, Ramesh!! That's a fantastic achievement!! And I see you are very happy and humbled by it... great going, my friend!
    I too reached this milestone a couple of weeks back, and I think I can understand how special this moment must've been to you!
    Your poem said it all... heartfelt and genuine, it conveyed your deepest feelings and gratitude towards writing.. and it shows how you value that sense of being liberated when you write... and that's wonderful!!

    Hope you write many many more such beautiful poems to nourish our souls...

    Beautiful cascade of haiku—they flow as naturally as the tide, soft as breath.

    my favorite:
    Moonbeam’s gentle touch
    Happiness spills from my eyes
    Stars roll down the cheeks

    Happy 200th post!
