Aditi Mishra Poet Haibun

Resurrected Flames

During a solitary December blizzard in a Himalayan monastery-- a storyteller's humming enchants me. A distant moonlit snowflake blazes melodious stories, with no listeners, sprinkling rhythms in universe only for pilgrims seeking them. Faith lights up my immortal muse.

Under gleaming snow
flames of my muse resurrect;
survive life's blizzards

~~A memoir from my journey
