Silence Resides Here..



Written for 'Silence' - OSI ( Thanks to Shail) and  for 'Whisper' - Haiku Heights ( Thanks to Paulami)  Also shared with Rebecca's  Haiku My Heart

 

 Silence Resides Here..


Inner silence gives
A calm glow on the face, ah,
Moon, a true example..


Yet, it is difficult
To achieve silence, the word
Itself speaks so much..


Focus on each breathe,
Takes me to a place that says,
“Silence resides here”.

But I am scared
To knock at the door, because
Won’t that break silence..

And silence whispers
“ Door is illusion, walk in”,
I do that and merge..

Branch of an Old Tree..


Happy Friday... to all of you.. thanks to Rebecca.. in her page I often find wisdom being sprinkled and blessings flowing as they flow from:


Branch of an Old Tree..


Branch of an old tree
Extends itself like God’s hand
Blesses passers-by

***

Awakened souls all
Arise with sunrise, to walk
Alone with themselves

****

Fresh faces find glow
When angels descend to join
Someone to share with

*****

End of a good day
Birds all return, embraces
Branch of an old tree..

Deep Reluctance Holds Me Tight..



Written for 3WW Prompts..  Immune, Drench, Radiate..



Deep Reluctance Holds Me Tight..

Drenched in water
Immune to people around
He dances in rain

Drops of water shine
On his face, eyes radiate
A deep love for life


How I crave to be
Out there with him to catch
Rain-drops in my hands


Deep reluctance holds
Me tight, moments of magic
Slipping by quietly


That’s when my spirit
Pushes me with full force and
I find myself dance


In rain, like a mad
But where is he, oh, my muse
Vanishes or hides


Then I get the truth
Together we can’t be, for
That was also me


The one I wanted
Always to be, and wow, It’s
Kind of knowing


Now I know for sure
If ever magic beckons
I will be immune


Drenched in love
I will let my spirit radiate
Through my eyes, yes..

And what really
I would be doing; ah, simple,
Living the moment…


This poem, in a chain of haikus just happened.. I think I was living the moments as the words flowed.. about fifteen minutes ago it didn't exist... join me in happiness!!!

Dreams Come For Free, na


Written for OSI: DREAMS   Prompt 180   
also shared with  Haiku My Heart and Haiku Heights..



 Dreams Come for Free, na

No, empty pockets
Never scare me even a bit
Dreams come for free, na


Carefully choosing
I pick them in bundles of
Myriad colours


Some get wings and fly
Others get caught in  webs of
Deceit and envy 


Betrayals happen
I again pick them afresh
Dreams come for free, na

Here's for Haiku Heights....on International Friendship Day

I wait every year
For friendship day, looking up
I greet Moon, my friend

A true friend indeed
Without fear I can share
No need to pretend..

A very Happy Friendship Day to you all..

Night Embroiders Stars.. for HMH



It's Friday... a special Haiku Day for Rebecca's Haiku My Heart..

And as usual here I am ... the haikus were born as I was having my morning walk with trees flanking the road from both sides...and what I heard is what gave the first line..


Clamouring of birds
Stars quietly dim a goodbye
Moon fades in silence


****

Sun spreads a white sheet
Folds it neatly in layers
And calls it a day


****

I don’t plan a thing
Day unfolds itself and I
Just receive its gifts..

****

White sheet turns black, and
Lo, night embroiders stars, and
Stitches a Moon too.

I Let My Imagination Release a Paper Boat..



For 3WW.. Pierce, Dose, Appear.. 
 

I Let My Imagination Release a Paper Boat..


My thoughts pull a cloud
And piercing through the space
Take it to the Moon
Yes, Moon too deserves
To enjoy a dose of rain
One cloud, some raindrops
And just one thought 
Helps me see a much 
Happier Moon
Cherishing that small piece
Of lucky land, that's
Hosting a puddle of water
With raindrops dancing
On their own reflection
And I let my imagination
Release a paper boat too
With a little flag fluttering
Having an imprint
Of 3WW and its logo
Being the sponsors of this
Enchanting space odessey
It all appears so very happy
And absolutely beautiful
Let anyone see, I am sure
Your eyes are also
Reflecting this lovely scene..



By  RS  : ) 

finally I think I succeeded in making you smile with me... may the happiness stay ..and get enhanced.. thankyou for the visit..
