Haiku Moment 29

Temple bells Echo fond longings; Feast day prayers ~~~~~~~~~ Old room Memories collide; Touching time ~~~~~~~~~ Brief vacation Island paradise; Getaway trip ~~~~~~~~~ Loft sanctuary Stillness percolates; Quiet recluse ~~~~~~~~~ Children's playbook Tales to tell; Fond distraction ~~~~~~~~~ Sad glimpses Earthquake disaster; Desperate moods ~~~~~~~~~ Evening escapade Banquet feast; Wedding celebration ~~~~~~~~~ Stillness attends Wounded day bleeds; Dark night comes ~~~~~~~~~ Super mart crowd Groceries in tow; Stressed cashier ~~~~~~~~~ Haiku etchings Encounter puzzles; Birdsong duet ~~~~~~~~~ Christmas mood Mall decorations; Buying goodwill ~~~~~~~~~ Sun plunging Sea horizon swallows; Night grips ~~~~~~~~~ Sit still then Hear stillness; Restore faith ~~~~~~~~~ Miniature books Readable art works; One of a kind ~~~~~~~~~ Spring cleaning Rainy day echoes; Tidy rapture ~~~~~~~~~ Seek nothing Allow change space; Embrace empty ~~~~~~~~~ Spiritual discourse Insight comes; Rapture frees ~~~~~~~~~ Morning psalm Light reveals; Dawn brings gifts ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 08 December 2016 Singapore
