Nothing Extra-ordinary About It - 3WW

Written for 3WW

Highlight, Submit, Instruct


First, a Haiku


Sunlight highlights shades
as a mark of submission;
nature instructs


Nothing Extra-Ordinary About It


God's one line instruction
for me had been simple:
" Highlight all that is
good in others;
Don't submit to
Your own temptations.."

And I did what
All the ordinaries do
I highlighted
My own perceived strengths
And started submitting
to my own temptations

Then one day as I stood
In front of the mirror
I couldn't recognise myself
That's when the false layers
Got pealed one by one
And I realised my follies..

I started highlighting
All that was good in others
And never submitted
to any temptations
I was able to clearly
recall God's instructions

You want to know
How did I do that?
Well, I just blocked
all the external noise
And that's when God spoke
loud and clear once again

Well, I heard him this time
Realised, understood,
Made a clear choice and
The shift happened spontaneously
Had I taken time to decide
I would have remained ordinary

As you see my decision
To hear God just for
One more time carefully
Changed things for me
And you can see now I am
A LITTLE MORE THAN ORDINARY...

Ha, nothing extra-ordinary
About it..you know..

Rivulet..





Water spills from glass;
she draws a rivulet
with her finger tip..

Joy Smiloman.... A Tribute through Haiku..

JOY SMILOMAN...a tribute to a kind heart..


As I write this, He
stands next to me smiling;
Illuminated


Illuminated
soul spreads his light in our hearts;
I hear wings flutter


I hear wings flutter
and there he goes beyond clouds;
Joe Spadoman, Man

Joe Spadoman, Man,
will your comments glow here now;
happy illusion


Happy illusion
he stands next to me smiling;
Ah, I could write this..


May you be as happy as ever in your new abode...In fact you must have become "JOY" from Joe...and Spadoman must be now "Smiloman"..

Amen!!!! JOY SMILOMAN...

God bless....A huge thank you to Rebecca...as my eyes well..and .

And A Pause Helps.... 3WW

Written for

Three Words Wednesday
Brief, Insist, Expose..



And A 'Pause' Helps..

A brief hint of
gleam in his eyes
Exposed what he had been
Hiding for a long time

She noticed, smiled
and let that moment
quietly pass by
Without insisting to know

He too understood
And a relationship faded
before it could start
Another became stronger

That's what happens
In those flickering moments
When life throws tests
And a 'pause' helps
