A heron looked on
8 June 2020
The pond was icy
Surface a thin pane of glass
Like mirror it cracked
The gap extended
Glistening scales gleamed within
Their presence promise
A heron looked on
Slowly the surface did break
The fish would come through

Recreating Life
4 June 2020
The anger welled up
Within the bosom that flared
Like forest aflame
It bore no logic
Curving through the mind’s landscapes
It shattered all sense
Easing through the flames
My worded intention spun
Recreating Life

Reading of the poem:
Shinnobu – Only by Love
Catch me when I fall
25 May 2020
The ducks are flying
Their sturdy wings an emblem
Of solidity
Wisps of airborne white
Traces of a tree shedding
All springtime’s whispers
Bosoms opening
Memories of summer hay
Open green meadows
Waterhen gliding
The reed caressed by the winds
Heartbeats in the chest
Willow tree rising
The bees humming in the sky
Afternoons of May
Summertime blue thoughts
Sprouts springing in rising mind
Catch me when I fall
Reading of the poem:
Evgeni’s Waltz – Abel Korzeniowski
Solid ground denied
12 May 2020
North and South battle
Irreconcilable straits
Conflict in bosom
Flourishing in reed
Graceful attire of heart
Swaying to the rhythm
Solid ground denied
My soul like a wild gypsy
Yearning for travel

Reading of the poem:
Sam Myers – I Got The Blues
I am all though none
6 May 2020
My heart beats softly
Everlasting tunes in soul
Pouch of bundled joy
I whirl on the Earth
My mind lost in the blue skies
Sketches of castles
Infinite passion
Within finite appearance
I am all though none

Rumi – The Great Mystery (Sufi Poem) ♫
Toward river bank
3 May 2020
In air diluted
The wisps of springtime’s blossoms
Inconsistent ease
Small waterfalls pour
Inside my heart they gather
Derelict substance
They paired them by two
A single swan now gliding
Toward river bank

Yo-Yo Ma, Kathryn Stott – The Swan (Saint-Saëns)
Around shape of things
18 April 2020
Clouds gathered above
Movement back into winter
Spring’s blossoms swaying
Waterhen clucking
Seagulls flying in the sky
The canal flowing
Spring’s fight evolving
My inner realms revolving
Around shape of things

“Ektal”- Azam Ali and Kodo (featuring Zakir Hussain)
In love we gathered
7 April 2020
The garden silent
The rose bush alit by thorns
Featured stems thorn birds
Wisteria clung
Otherworldly shapes of grapes
Under silver moon
Peace within our hearts
Moonlight rising in our souls
In love we gathered

The river racing
5 April 2020
Sun beyond winter
Spring’s magic in flowers’ touch
Waterhen that clucks
Branches in the stream
Tug of war of wooden limbs
Movement of water
The breath suspended
Particles alit in skies
The river racing

☼ Sun in my eyes ☼ music by Saint of sin (feat. Jasmin Faridi)
Ocean greets me kin
24 March 2020
This is not a play
Tragedy nor comedy
This is a life’s toil
I splatter the drops
The waters in rivulets
Aspire for bay
Ocean greets me kin
Movement of waves like my skin
A body of clay
