Best Sojourn Poems

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness in
Opulent hues that color our lives as we age and
Journey through changing circumstances with 
Obstacles that crop up unforseen, and so
Unexpectedly that we are caught off guard
Relying on instinct to help us cope, 
Never suspecting that these changes are...

More than eleven thousand days have passed since I started this voyage. 
Laughters, anguish, challenges, setbacks, achievements;
These shaped me into who I am presently
Resilient. Strong. Persistent. Empowered.
Life's roller coaster made me realize a lot of things paradoxically
That people will only be there for you as...

Her sojourn in the wild

Her sojourn in the wild 
Packed in her reverie
Doting the scent of love
Muffled up with old melodies and 
Few muffins to eat
Those hushed leaves made most hissing 
If ever one's heart could hear it
The breeze witnessed her traces 
The dampen soil...

   "A Spiritual Sojourn"




sheer white wings pivoted dreaming soul to pure Throne of Grace
captivated by pink cotton candy clouds to gaze beauty
a spiritual sojourn encompassed taste of Divine Love.

Sonnet, you beckon me with your allure.
Valiant ship from a distant shore
Resting, no more sojourn
Basking in glory of a distant past
Lowered mast once battered and blown
An emblem of pride and place
From boundless rushes, to a windless pace
Now laid bare of all innocence
Meekly, humbly retired

All aboard...

Curling crests cassessing coastlines
backwash bumping beach breakers.
screeching Seagulls squark and scream
mocking maritime merrymakers.

Burning boogers brave blisterd backs
scorched surfers seek shoreline shade, 
urbane under umpteen umberellas,
peacocks posed in a parasol parade.

Drifting dunes delight deserted
lovers, languorously lounging, lazily
craving comfort, coveting cool currents.
Hellishly humid, heat hovers hazily.

Spirited siblings,...

Truth has a way
To greet fond spell;
Beauty flowers

Magic moments
Joy in sweet smiles;
Floral bright blooms

Cheer comes to call
Another milestone;
Change brings memories

Touch of delight
Frosted cream cheese;
Lemon zest cake

Cocoa ecstasy
Chocolate ganache cake;
Heavenly bliss

Espresso moment
Caffeine swirl;
Fragrant brown brew

Old news vendor
Weathered street stall;
Sleepy fatigue droops

Playground chatter
Maids on parade;
Child care commotion

Feel the feathers of photons flying across the bluest of skies,
Whose sapphire fires ignite the horizon with hydrogen oxidized. 

Its refracted scatter of cerulean molecules melts which matter was solid,
Into a gaseous glass whose diaphanous film has from the heavens fallen.

Aromatic camphorous fragrents float with...

Mind often makes a circuitous pilgrimage
Sliding down and going up the banisters of time
As I hear the grating sound of worn stairs behind
Memories come darting in and out of shadows

From childhood’s flamboyant days
Mind scuttles between the past and the present
Skipping over the bliss of buoyant...

summer sojourn 

summer strolls the hills
 green aspen leaves fluttering ~
  wildflowers run wild

edelweiss wear white
 high altitude’s sunflower ~
  a wink and a smile

columbine rockets
 burst like glitzy shooting stars ~
  vibrant colors pop

fairy slippers grin
 in deep hues of light...

Sojourners in a land not our own
seek we the place we will call our home
archetype of the promise you gave to Abraham
the future children they shall possess the land

Servants of the Truth dwellers of the tent
traveled upon your path wherever you them sent
faithful to your...

What to capture when you are in pain.
A flower floating into your hands as it rains.

Onslaught of self-abuse is your world of despair.
Grieving over a painful loss is now beyond your care.

Pain has driven the stake of sadness into the dark unknown.
Woven by the agony...

Once in a while
More reasons to smile;
Bliss frames style

Look beyond
Silence speaks;
Feelings paint

Wish on a wish
Catch the magic;
Dream comes true

Two hearts
One lifelong theme;
Happy two-gather

Once upon a vow
Signatures in ink;
Bold permutations

~~~~~~~~~


A wish for you:
Love knows best;
All else is noise

~~~~~~~~~


Line after line
Truth profound;
Sleep on it

~~~~~~~~~


Vignettes
Micro fiction pulses;
Amusing musings
