I don’t know what about September it is that makes me think not like me. It seems September lends a new dimension to my mind’s eye. It’s that time when monsoon passes the baton to winter. Rain washed thoughts struggle for some Sun, and a little prayer to a rare bright fading day escapes me, wishing the evening lingered a bit more on the photos on my wall. Sunset and a wandering mind … how can anyone be averse to a verse…
Go slow
Sept ember glow
there’s still time
for the Sun to walk past.
There’s still light in the sky
and the stars
not in a hurry for the show.
Read them before they fade
tales
the brown of my eyes
the bow of my brows behold.
Go slow
Sept ember glow
there’s still blue in the sky
and the tide
not in a hurry for the storm.
Go slow
Sept ember glow
may the silky dusk
golden my wall of fame
and the sepia
not in a hurry to steal a wink.
If this were to fit in a haiku…
sunset swept pictures
September glow on my wall
one more fading day
How else does a cyclone-hit heart do it with a haiku!
September, if not anything teaches us to break into verse and haiku.
Happy week and happy soul con versing!
