forty, for three kinds of pain
swell into sixty, they suggested;
the idea of dependency and
docile, smiley dazes
too much, like a bruised sprain
tiptoeing on the edge
of a complete break

i don’t need to be happy all the time
i just need to be happy more

Zen
breeze on the water
leaves my stillness undisturbed
moves my reflection
A 5-7-5 poem.
Seán Mac Falls Jan 2019
(Haiku)

1

touching the window
outside breathes dream world in sun
light through my fingers


2

in backyard garden
morning sun stirs flower beds
new emotions set fire


3

once my heart burned red
but young passions turned with age
mellow autumn flame


4

fireworks at dawn
fields of colour trailing out
wildflowers bursting


5

youth has horizons
elders have reached a new sun
beyond a mountain


6

after dread ice storms
sun beads forgiveness to earth
drops from icicles
.

if i were happy, truly
would that me still
be me
Listening to the opening minute of "Like Spinning Plates"

Shhh...

Do you hear that sound?
The strains of distant music
Do you recognise the tune?
The way you used to sway to its rhythm
Do you know the words?
It’s an old favourite

Listen
And remember
‘So Hum’ - a yogic mantra which translates from the Sanskrit as ‘I am that’ and is used in contemplation meditation.
Markus Russin Jan 2019
the quiet now when
once you
cut yourself to songs on boxes
shaped like hearts;

                                   today
those edges
too have left
behind all blank and human
shaped a body trembling
K Balachandran Jan 2019
A glass of water,
Contemplates on cosmos;
Unawares, thirst spreads.
