EpiphanyReflecting its neighbourhood,
The lake water shone yellow.
Resembling a synchronisation of saturation
With the setting sun.
Seizing green colour of the grasses
The Sun painted them gold.
Gazed pines dance spectacularly,
Only awakened with Sparrows' chirps,
And Robins' melodious songs.
Perched on...

Blooming here in front of me
Its scented petals fill the air

Under the threat of the setting sun
Until what remains is a puddle of tears
And a list

Small breeze of late Autumn.

Consuming FireLicking my wounds.
Recovering from the pain.
Is it supposed to
feel this way?
Empty, cold, and dejected.
Ashamed of not enjoying it.
Radiating heat filling me up

without it there’s

Forget Me NotForget Me Not
Forget me not when petals drop
or when succulent fruits decay,

and lastly, remember

light up my life...

Mystic Under the Bodhi TreeA most beautiful day
The Son of Suns, shining brightly on us all
Not hot yet, but bright.
A million butterfly’s swarm
Lighting on and around
Myriads of flowers surrounding.
See them in such moving colors
Each on their own chosen way,...

Rainy Days, and the Old Red Barn“Allen saw it first
Charlie then later
Allen chased the black raven
Charlie lived his dreams”.
Steady rain had been falling for two straight days
In dimming, muted light.
Striding out from the middle of a weeded field
The two men...
