Haiku inspired by a Painting

Sandpiper's refuge

by the edge of blue water

in silent splendour

Haiku inspired by a Painting

Sea of blue and white

gentle waves caress brown rocks

beneath benign sky

Desideratum

Silence and solitude

leads to the highest altitude

The Mind

Let not the mind

be a dust-bin

of others' unworthy thoughts-

keep it clean!

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2021

Wounds

The wound that's not yet bleeding

          is much worse than that which has bled

          it still exists in suspended suffering

          while the latter is free from that.

Haiku inspired by a Japanese Painting of a Dark Forest

Silent is the night

shadows linger in forest

two figures appear

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2021

The Hidden

The hidden holds

a deeper mystery than the seen-

love that's unspoken

is the greatest beauty--the eternal evergreen
