Our host, Chèvrefeuille, at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai presents us with a meme of the Spiritual Way – Imagination giving us the choice of four photos for our inspiration.
Time seems to loiter
slowly crawling uphill
each laboured breath
wheezing to the top
mayhem starts to enter
idol pandemonium
down, down, down
spiralling carelessly
or so it seems to me
twists and turns
clutching by the sides
hurling anecdotes
of a drawn-out past
settles in the present
warning for the future
unless…
mastering these moods
feelings and obssessions
hurdles that care less
dealt once in the past
habit keeps them near
patterns that have settled
trick me into believing
how powerless am I
and yet…
given it some thought
rational and real
oh! silly do I feel
preoccupied with naught
then…
praying to the universe
chanting consciously
feeling the absurdity
lifting and disappear
now…
how I must be mindful
when time does unravel
effort downhill travel
with an intense speed
settling’s just a habit
how I do know better
and I have discovered
this long-awaited gift
spirituality and me,
chanting passionately
gently brings me back
to virtual reality
(troiku)
hanging on to
likelihoods
the unknown
hanging on to
unlikely and naïve
dandelion puffs
likelihoods
only calculations
do add up
the unknown
invisible to humans
held by the divine

You have captured the essence of how our thoughts are transient; our thoughts do not define us. I love the image of the dandelion…perfect! Brilliant.

Thanks…it was the only image I could see in my mind how fleeting those thoughts can be and yet we allow them to control our lives sometimes.
