Rock solid backdrop
Reflective forefront blazing
Vivid hues of life

Move towards something
And it gets closer,
True for everything
But the clouds!
They just never
Seem to get closer!
You take a step
They take a float
Even when finally
In a hot air balloon,
Your put your whole self
Straight into its belly,
Still nothing to grasp
Nothing to hold!
Yet all the while
Still there all around!
Such is breath.
You can feel it
You can even watch it
Without it
You cannot be!
Can you hold it?
Can you bottle it?
Can you save it for a later day?
Just as the clouds
Shower a love,
So does breath
Ultimate lover’s love.
Just as the clouds
Transport droplets from air to land,
So does breath
Link strong, you and your source.
So before it’s too late
And breath floats on by,
Connect and secure
The link on your side.
Acknowledge each one
As they come and go,
Bringing the possibilities
For what it’s all about.
Love and enjoy
Acknowledge and appreciate,
Revel in gratitude
And let each breath
Be its wait in gold!
Live from your soul
To your heart‘s content
With commitment of mind
Love with all your heart
With soulful sincerity
No room for doubt in mind
Laugh with mindful humor
Bringing together hearts
Enabling souls their peaceful rest

a heart feeling love
flowers and colors your dreams
mirror living bliss

Five senses.
But how ‘touch’ wins the show!
Grasp of the finger
Pulling on a pet’s tail
Smearing food on table tops.
Oh how children touch!
A stroke on the cheek
Gliding fingers through hair
Lips to lips.
Oh how lovers touch!
Touch is the one sense
Meeting and surpassing all others.
The song of the nightingale
The magnificence of the orchestral play
The lapping of soothing waves
All heard by the ears
But how it ‘touches’ you…
The first rays of morning light
The buds of spring’s delight
The ripple of fine muscular might
All seen by the eyes
But oh how it ‘touches’ you!
Warm welcome handshakes
Acquaintances made.
Sitting snug side by side
Friendships old and gold.
Embraces long and lasting
Lovers trademark sold.
Such is the power of touch ..
Do you remember how to touch?
Or have you become
“Proper”
“Well behaved ”
Respectful of personal space!
Reach, stretch and touch
Get uncomfortable
So you can get comfortable,
Feel that which is around you
Listen with you ears
See your your eyes
Feel with your entire being
And be ‘touched’,
So you can get in-touch
With being a ‘being’!

awake yet asleep
oblivious to the real
worst kind of slumber
https://haikuhorizons.wordpress.com challenge of the week , sleep
artwwork compliments of my daughter, Tejal

intense meets softness
gives rise to strength and beauty
natural love unfolds

Some eyes have sight but no vision
Here fear, doubt and oblivion reign.
For vision we need to be free
And freedom requires a warrior.
Some eyes peek at visions.
This the terrain of aimless confusion.
Peeking is transient looking
Peeking is from being barred and imprisoned.
Then there are eyes that have both sight and vision.
Conscious
Fearless
Searching and finding
Clear peaceful reality.
Choose your eyes
See your soul
Let it emerge and grow
Understand it’s song and dance
So that you can feel the true beauty of your soul.

given priceless breaths
do so very wisely spend
gather treasures big
