Dancing Angels

velvet night

how loud my praise

in tones of silence

carried across the heavens

dancing angels

OUT AND ABOUT

Hello dear friends and loved ones. I’m out and about now. 🙂! And it feels good. The cares of this world kept me hiding out, even as my muse left me in limbo. Throughout the lockdown, I could not string a line of haiku or even a sentence for my novel in progress which I started ages ago.

But I read and read and read and still reading my books piling up on the shelves of my study I ranted about months ago. It felt and feels so good to just relax in the arm chair with the AC on full blast (after all President of Ghana is paying half the cost of electricity for us for three months), reading a Joel Rosenberg or a Daniel Silva. Real cool indeed and mind you, hard cover. Though Kindle is convenient, there is nothing like reading a physical book, in your hands, occasionally caressing the cover while giving it a sneak peek.

 

But come out I should and did with this haiku of mine published in the Stardust Haiku online Magazine edited by Valentina Ranaldi- Adams. Very much appreciated Valentina. 🙂

I guess with this, dear friends, my muse might be back in full swing. At least I hope so. 🙂

Miracle, A Poem

My son Cedric penned this poem and I just had to post it here.

Miracle

Is my life ending?

I lie on my bed

My mind in turmoil

I try to the best of my ability

But I still can’t shake off this feeling

That something can go wrong

If only I can turn back the wheels of time

I will make it right

2

I do not go through this alone

Many others feel the same anxiety

Only I am a little less apprehensive

Because there is a sliver of light penetrating this darkness

Believing in the Divine Being that keeps me moving

Believing that a miracle will come my way

The day of reckoning has come upon me

Void

void of silence

my supplication lost

in folds of clouds
