Haidar's Corner

the mind sees shadows afar though the Sun hides awaiting behind dark clouds to spread illumination the mind spots lamppost despite the haze a low and sleepy fog mixture of air and water the mind wanders like wayfarer pausing only for sustenance before moving on in constant search...

Like a leaf detached from a stem I drop to the ground and I'll be swept away in the heap of dead leaves and be forgotton Like the passing cloud that forms an image I'll be dispersed in an instance, when the breeze and Sun make their entrance Like the ripples in water swimming to the banks countless, unidentifiable fading into oblivion Like the desert tracks buried in moments by blankets of sand that are like the skin of our bodies Like the rain dropping single yet inseparably pouring in torrents One moment we are, and the next gone.  Haidarwali 201602130713hrs

A boat in the middle of nowhere Sole occupant lost Rocks gently as the waters kiss its sides No breeze, no Sun yet also no storm Eerie calm grips like death Wide-eyed frightened with shaky limbs Suddenly, piercing scream rents the air Echoes fall in line like dominoes The last begins with a hissing And while it builds a crescendo Darkness spreads a shroud pitch And then it begins.

Away with the wind This leaf fluttered, swinging and swaying,  Twirling and dancing..before it settled    Upon heap of raked leaves, spotted A stride or so and it was united Adventure begun in earnest The clouds pregnant with wind of hope gusting The sea breeze blows sweet scents Omen for success they believe This journey holds promise true Maje Amin 201602081136hrs
