Winter Mist : Inverted Refrain

Fragile, smokey, winter mist,

scattering on to pine trees,

winter grains through summer sift,

on hills, valleys below spreading freeze:

                      Spreading freeze as summer sift,

                       winter mist on  pine trees.

From clouds it descends down,

gluing to every pine needle,

surroundings wear a white gown,

the chill sounds a bit feeble:

                             White gown descends down,

                              softly on to pine needles.

Summer colours fade away,

into rivulets they wash afar,

now, a grey slate lay,

sprinkling icy crystal stars:

                                Rivulets take colours away,

                                from the sky fall as stars.

A misty cap covers the forest,

milky way over the paths,

a beautiful heavenly adornment,

different ways it charts:

                          Milky way on paths and forest,

                          decorates the divine art.

Defining Death

Death is..........

the silent song of peace,
an amazing word,
merging different worlds.
The ultimate stroke of a painter's brush,
splashing canvas with the final touch.
The lost part of a puzzle ,
when found completes life.
A wish,
even if not wished,
granted.
A soulful embrace,
relieving all the pains.

Engulf me in thy arms,
I'll absorb all your warmth.

Your Quietness: Triversen

Your quietness,

holding many voices,

echoing through mind.

Your quietness,

words sealed within,

pouring melancholy.

Your quietness,

seeping in the mud,

drops of tears.

deep in heart,

a pearl of the pacific.

Your quietness,

pondering about life,

beyond the boundaries.

Your quietness,

the winter snow,

falling on me softly.

The bee hive,

a miracle of strive,

unsurpassed hardwork sublimed,

excellent paradigm live.

Buzzing bees,

dance, hum, ruffle with ease,

gather pollen, drink sap,

fly high, wings flap in breeze.

A Prayer: Vers Beaucoup

I pray that petals lay your way,

and rays dazzle in shades of hazel,

angel of happiness to bless,

refresh your life with no strife.

The dream you have shines with gleam and its stream,

without any seams, flows, grows,

glows with northern lights just right,

and bright, to higher successful peaks you rise and rise.

May this prayer through the air, over valley’s layer,

to you adhere, reside and hide,

in you confide, make you strong, to travel along,

this long road with love of god.
