Haiku Moment 26

Zen showroom Stillness speaks; Teak wood designs ~~~~~~~~~ Words surge free Creative impulse; Vivid visions ~~~~~~~~~ Profound stillness Calm silence charms; Welcome rest ~~~~~~~~~ Late evening rain Wet windowpane; Chilly shivers ~~~~~~~~~ Moon glow mist Black skyline spread; No stars tonight ~~~~~~~~~ China ascending Proud 'pax chinesis' hovers; Flexing taut muscles ~~~~~~~~~ Small city state island Singapore sling; Little Red-Dot ~~~~~~~~~ If you must ask I cannot tell; Voice in the wind ~~~~~~~~~ Miniature books Heavy on wisdom; Light weight powers ~~~~~~~~~ She said We said; Much left unsaid ~~~~~~~~~ Musical montage Familiar classics; Late mother's memory ~~~~~~~~~ Coming and going Sweet sad smiles; Corridor strides ~~~~~~~~~ Last blessing here Heart-to-heart talk; A farewell moment ~~~~~~~~~ How do you say Goodbye then; Stay in my heart ~~~~~~~~~ Words buzz around Collage in montage; Unforgettable echoes ~~~~~~~~~ Joy and tears mix Pain tangles cheer; Fond memories swirl ~~~~~~~~~ Briefly, lightly... A farewell whisper; No birds sing ~~~~~~~~~ Bitter pain lingers Pieces of broken heart; Morning rainbow comfort ~~~~~~~~~ Journey journal Heart-felt deposits; Exquisite feelings lounge ~~~~~~~~~ Thus far now: Seize this daze; Craft fond memoirs ~~~~~~~~~ Sweet spot here Free trade zone; Buzzy business leaps ~~~~~~~~~ Live well then You know not when; Death harvests soul ~~~~~~~~~ Gratitude bows Chant a mantra; Heart knows soul ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 30 November 2016 Singapore
