Gracious

Words come
Thoughts flow;
Meaning lives

~~~~~~~~~


Choice avails
Poise styles;
Creative surge

~~~~~~~~~


Glimpse truth
Urge patterns;
Cheer peoples

~~~~~~~~~


Why worry
About worry?
Two hands tied

~~~~~~~~~


Haiku fragment
Poignant moment;
Mirror contrast

~~~~~~~~~


Sorrow sketches
Water colours slide;
Echoes remain

~~~~~~~~~


Time stops
Abruptly here;
Sadness abides

~~~~~~~~~


Sometimes dying
Paints grand stokes;
Legend starts

~~~~~~~~~


Why all this tears
For just one man?
Loss feels so sad

~~~~~~~~~


New day
New sun;
Goodbye Kuan Yew

~~~~~~~~~


A true son
Immortalised;
By a fond will

~~~~~~~~~


Gracious keep
Mindful stern will;
Common legacy

~~~~~~~~~
