I find few moments more soothing
Than a cool, grey day
Whose listless breezes stir a gentle rain
Droplets patter pane and sill
And I, warm and dry
With a steaming mug
Turn the pages of a book
Offering scant attention to its contents
Tag: tranquility
Sanur Sunrise
Drowsy sun peeks from
Under fluffy comforter
Chooses to rise up
For the Dawn
Dawn comes softly
In pastels
With a light wind
I breathe in the moment
Then hold on
To what I don’t want to let go
This peace
This sanctuary
This moving on
A quiet
I have not allowed myself
To experience
In a long time
Time
In my body
Letting the world be
Just as it is
Beautiful
And dark
Tranquil
And distressed
But just for this moment
Beautiful
And tranquil
That is enough
For the dawn
Grace Which Offers Hope
Even in the dourest grey
There is a beauty
Calling me
Up to the light
It wrests a smile
From sadness
Grace
Which offers hope
In darkest place
There helps me cope
Then rise
Up into flight
On wing
Up to the clouds
And through them
Sun
Illuminate
The good
I soar
In peace
Tranquility
There is a beauty
Calling me
Up to the light
It wrests a smile
From sadness
Grace

In darkest place

Then rise
Up into flight
On wing
Up to the clouds
And through them
Sun

I soar
In peace
Tranquility
Transient Magic
Transient Light
Magic Light
Magic Light
Sunset & Minaret
Sunset and minaret
What more need be said
But for the hundreds who
Meander through
The tranquil peace
This evening grace
Within the shadow of
Perfection
What more need be said
But for the hundreds who
Meander through
The tranquil peace
This evening grace
Within the shadow of
Perfection
River ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #75
Ganga falls from Himalaya highs
To lap at feet
On sandy shore
In Rishikesh
Where it and I
Find some small tranquility
In the turmoil
Of inexorable change
To lap at feet
On sandy shore
In Rishikesh
Where it and I
Find some small tranquility
In the turmoil
Of inexorable change
Ganga, take me down
Down to distant sea
Where I become the drop
Which is, itself, the sea
And learn eternal peace
In oneness with the One
Some Distant Sunset
The heat
Of some distant sunset
Ignites steel rails
Red and yellow hot
Of some distant sunset
Ignites steel rails
Red and yellow hot
While light breezes
Shimmer on the sea
Settling snow to Earth
From branch and bough
Where it once rested
Winter Dreaming
Revelling on Golden Dreams
Where languid winter river flows
Beneath soft flakes fluttering
Alighting like sweet Angel’s down
Upon needled bough and barren branch
Or cloak the water where it’s still
Where languid winter river flows
Beneath soft flakes fluttering
Alighting like sweet Angel’s down
Upon needled bough and barren branch
Or cloak the water where it’s still
Charcoal and Smudge
The clouds
Descended like a cloak
Over the mountains
Descended like a cloak
Over the mountains
The light
Flat as the calm sea
And equally tranquil
A scene
Rendered entirely in charcoal and smudge
But for a band of cottony hanging fog
