Trust

Trust
as a rose petal trusts,
falling down to the ground.


Trust
as a dog trusts,
wagging his tail or barking.


Trust
as a leopard trusts,
snoozing on a branch.


Trust
as a bird trusts,
singing in the air.


Trust
as a blade of grass trusts,
growing in the crack of concrete.


Trust
as a snowflake trusts
landing on your nose.


Trust
as a deer trusts,
drinking from a brook.


Trust
as a wolf trusts,
running through the forest.


Trust
and stay in the flow of Life,
stay in the grace of God.

Spring Haiku

Spring is here again
to unfreeze the the earth and trees,
to let the birds sing.

Wind whispers to world
Trees waving branches with him,
willing to listen.

Spring is in full bloom,
memory of beginnings
in each blade of grass.

On a flat rooftop
raindrops are learning to dance
with happy chit chat.

Spring Magic

Crowd

Voices around me
but not speaking to me,
I’m in the middle of a crowd,
but not being
with anybody.

Ambience of life
like video playing,
was it a clickbait?
And I’m part of it
for somebody else too.

A weekly catch up,
fleeting laughter,
broken sentences,
chatter of steps
knocking on pavement.

I’m pecking on sounds,
pondering their fleeting taste;
shards of words
recycled in a loop
ready to sprout again.

Crowd is not asking questions -
"to be or not to be",
"stay or go away",
"somebody or nobody",
"here or there".

Not asking questions,
not looking for answers.
Sometimes poison,
sometimes antidote
to loneliness.

Going around
the Fountain of Life
and missing it completely,
only occasionally throwing in
coins for luck.
