forgiveness

dear
be still
a soft song
the rain whispers
throughout the window
clouds are crying for me
the stress slowly dissipates
i will fly free as a feather
for forgiveness and absolution
a believer of possibilities

joining Reena’s exploration challenge – must include the word rain. i’ve chosen an Etheree poem to depict my feelings when i took this photo from my office window a few weeks back.

Arrival

A flash of light is entering through the window 
Bodies start to stretch after the long night.
Good morning, bonjour, bom dia, buen dia, guten morgen …
Many languages contained in a small space, all the dreams and expectations
A baby babbling at the left, a toddler asking ‘are we there yet?’ at the right
People are moving in the aisle, rushing for the lavatories
The cabin crew is busy, checking if everyone is ok and collecting the night trash
The coffee fragrance spreads along the plane, soon breakfast will be served, the landing approaches.
Welcome to …

Reena’s Xploration Challenge:

“There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I’m born to leave.” 

Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

happiness

a droplet of happiness
happiness is a second in the infinity 
it goes away with a blink of an eye
happiness is here and now
it’s a wish in yellow
a droplet in the eternity 
happiness is never and forever

Joining Reena’s Xploration Challenge. Reena asked us to watch the video below and write our feelings about it: “stream of consciousness’ writing”. Hope you enjoy my take on it!

magical notebook

you found me

in the middle of a cornfield

a bookstore

where else could I be?

you hypnotized me

with the magical red and golden pattern

i couldn’t see or hear anything

except for your magnetism

you guided me close to you

in a trance state, I grabbed you

caressing your pages

the words formed spells in my mind

Reena’s Xploration challenge this week is to choose at least 2 words of the word cloudy below and be creative. I’ve chosen Hypnosis and Trance.

I bought this notebook a few weeks back during a trip to USA middle-west. It’s a beautiful place with lots of cornfields and wonderful bookstores. I couldn’t resist when I saw this notebook, I had to buy it! It was indeed a magical moment.

spring party

on my way yesterday – a rainy day

in that one moment 
when snow turns into rain
the trees smile
Nature gets ready for the Spring party
flowers, birds songs, lots of sunshine
i feel lightness in the air

after the harsh winter
rain feeds the soil and the roots
Earth fragrance is wonderful
the sun wakes up earlier and goes to sleep later
bicycles and skates are everywhere
garden preparations must start
flowers and vegetable beds

it’s time for renewing
both soul and body
in that one moment
when snow turns into rain
thank you, Nature, for the opportunity
to start over and enjoy your gifts

Joining Reena’s Xploration Challenge – in that one moment

broken

a broken dish
mended with gold 
the scar is precious 
it tells time and has a story 
shouldn’t be erased, discarded 
travelling to countries, continents 
rough oceans, calm skies
it reveals a path taken, chosen
to reach the eventful moment 
a split second of sorrow 
when the past can’t be redone 
however, the future is a choice
the trash bin or the shining on the shelf
a decision must be made 
the fragility in the hands of the doer
a smile, a memory of celebration 
a lump in my throat, a memory of an empty dish
mended with gold
