Observations

Morning light shimmers
Floating dust welcome;
Excited salutation


World awakes
Noisy traffic;
Rush of work day


Knock on the door
Peephole lookout;
Real estate agent


Morning cuppa
Fortified supplements;
Health insurance


Bamboo trees
Walkway sentinels;
Windy voices hum


Old plumeria tree
Speaks in vivid colours;
Reds, yellows, whites bloom


Lift alarm screaming
Fire drill or short circuit;
Irritating noise


Balcony view
Ant-people far below;
Busy antics ply


Temple oracle
Praying on a wish;
Curious bystanders


Church petitions
Man keeps busy asking;
Attendance compulsory


Despite our faiths
Man remains unchanged;
Unsure and insecure


Voice of dawn
Hurling new songs;
Rapture unnoticed


Bold ideas fashion
New collections;
Recycle old orbits


Day after day
Same old, same old;
What's new pussycat


Hymn and prayer
Endless petitions;
Too much noise


Go deeply now
Linger right here;
Discern afresh


When, where and how
Who, why and what;
Unanswered questions


Weary and tired
Dreary world swirls;
Awaiting salvation


Look beyond reason
To fit new rhymes;
Seasonal permutations


Looking out
Peeping in;
Who cares


Lost in the crowd
I search for something;
I don't know why


Rules are rules
Useful as tools;
Transcend and discard


Once in a while
A sincere smile;
Cynics fling piles


Go beyond terms
Let feelings style;
Spontaneous voice


Seek then the light
Beyond meaning;
Seize true rapture


When the soul awakes
Magic and mystic
Charm with bold say


Words once empty
Pregnant with rapture;
Creation sings


In a clear vessel
The empty space:
Is most valuable


Go beyond form
Beyond norm;
Flirt with impulse


Words are devices
Language crude formats;
Soul sublimates


Sense a sure gap
Between said and done;
Herein possibilities field
