Mystic Moments

Early start East Coast Ferry Terminal; Sleepy journey Trip for two Getaway spa resort; Rest and recuperate Mystic moments: Retreat into void -- Battery recharging To re-jig sense Spur sensorial feel; Find and anchor Getaway mode Three days of rest; Tropical idyll Sing a song Joy floods again; Refresh soiled templates Doing nothing Can heal you wholesome; Empty cups need refill So there you go: Two lovers Playing catchup Take your trip, Embrace emptiness; Rest weary wiles Here by this bench Watch people passing; Wit humours worry Driver's hot seat: Fast luxury car Speeding away Now for a pit stop Mechanics of motion; Preventive maintenance Bus trip homewards Observe fellow passengers; Flashy mobile devices We flood the bus Private thoughts lurk; Ready to unleash Air-con bus ride Morning masquerade; Chameleons in-transit Glare of morning Sun in my eyes; Drowsy dreamy crazy Missing the point Stray words dislodge; Meaning decapitated Drowsy movement Blurry sensations; Graveyard shift starts Report and lodge Complaint that cuts; Fire a loose cannon Moody mindset Uneasy dawn; Distant tremors Exit the start Enter the end; Roundabout lurks Highway song Go fast within limits; Speedy Gonzales! Follow the signs: Deliver me From my slavery Illumination saves Ignorance and blame; Choice rewards freedom Morning story Sleep put on hold; Awareness now grooms Leon Enriquez 25 Feb 2014 Singapore

I never really found anything mystical about cities or busses until I read this poem. A great piece that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Reads like a typical day of your life. They are collectively very descriptive.

Dear Robert: I love haikus because these are fragments of experiences that occur over time. Some are recent and others over a broad timespan. When I sit to write, the images come and I just transcribe that experiential moment until the flow stops. I just get out of the way and act as a conduit. It is only 20 percent of my day. Thanks for your comments. Leon
