I walk alone


To the endless vastness
On this path forlorn
I walk alone
I walk alone
There was a time when I didn’t know
What should I do, where do I belong!
But in this moment of time
To that far unknown
I walk alone
I walk alone
A promise in my heart
To amend what was torn
For the dreams I had
For the dreams not known
I walk alone
I walk alone
This is my journey
Losing sight of the shore
For the first time
The shadows doesn’t scare me anymore
Igniting the lights within
Fighting on my own
I walk alone
I walk alone
Everything inspires me
To appreciate what was sown
Looking at the sky
And this seraphic dawn
Indeed life has it way
To show what was not shown
But here I am now
Walking all alone
In the midst of chaos
Looking at all the smiles
Grateful and optimistic
Without any fear and lies
I walk alone
I walk alone

Under The Basho......my seven published Haiku


barefoot
I root myself
back again


moonless sky
all the stars
disappear too


highway
the shadows of grass
lean back


autumn equinox
the weight of thoughts
drowns each step


twilight song
the everlasting ring
of a temple bell


moonlit sky
the stillness of water
in my thoughts


a cuckoo’s song
the aroma of rain
in my coffee cup


Bhawana

So, glad to be accepted in Under The Basho.

A Rispetto.....


Shimmering crescent moon ascending the sky
As I behold this fleeting sublime moment
Through the eternal unheard whispers of time
The tales in my heart and the endearment

The reflections in the stillness of water
A journey to the soul as my mind wanders
A sudden rush of thoughts sweep me far away
To a distant land where just love paves the way
