OSI & Haiku Heights : An Exhibition...




Written for Haiku Heights:  Heal  and  OSI: Exhibition


A heart is hosting
An exhibition of wounds
Healers not allowed..


Written for OSI Prompt… Exhibition…



In Search of a Spotless Soul


An exhibition
Of life on Earth; I am searching
For a spotless soul


For a spotless soul
Search had to be outside me
Mirror tells me that


Mirror tells me that
I can see the shadow of spots
In my shining eyes


In my shining eyes
Yes, isn’t that from where
Soul reveals itself…


Soul reveals itself
I will find a spotless one
In a child’s big eyes..


In a child's big eyes
Time keeps splashing darkness and
Shining soul picks spots..






******


A Moon Haiku..... has to be..yes..




An exhibition
Of shining stars in the sky
What's Moon doing there...

    So true! Hard facts of life expressed so poetically here in your poem!

    I love first Haiku. Wounds are treasured and loved for they are part of wonderful time one had.

    Beautiful.

    I do believe this is the first time I'm reading a haiku of yours that says to keep a wound, than heal it :) but I agree with it as well.. :D Loved it!

    the first one is excellent... hmm..how does a wounded heart exhibit the wounds? for how long? scars remain.. to be worn forever..

    These are all very nice, Ramesh!

    I like the idea of finding the spotless soul. So it settled on a child, huh?

    My daughter when she was five said that even Jesus sinned when he was a child. She said He should have come home with his parents instead of staying at the temple. (They had gone on home without missing Him.)

    I just love all 3- beautifully written, as always! I think my favorite though is the first one- sometimes we just need to hurt for awhile- part of "the process"

    How lovely. 'Spotless soul' was very fun to read with the repetition and really drove the point home.
