Done for Carpe Diem and Haiku My Heart

(In memory of Jane Reichhold)

Stones

spring

when dancing flowers bud

among stones

etched in stone

words sparkle with the spring

her last wish

3

much beauty

‘Neath the ugliest stone

If we look

The Final Small Stone

Appreciation, Beauty

Jan '13 Mindful Writing ChallengeFinally the Mindful Writing Challenge, has come to a glorious end today. It has been quite an uplifting task posting these Stones every day, although I am not too sure I was so mindful and observant of everyday things around me to write about. I must say that it has been also exhausting and quite glad it is over. 🙂 There I’ve said it!

But then I leave you with this simple Haiku to ponder over. God bless you all for bearing with me throughout the Stoney journey. 🙂 Your wonderful feedback and beautiful comments made a mark where it counted the most, my heart. 🙂

Beautiful Stone

Much beauty abound
‘Neath the small and ugliest Stone 
If only we look

Blooming Stones, Spring

Jan '13 Mindful Writing ChallengeToday is Day 30 of Mindful Writing Challenge, and the last but one day to the end of the Challenge. I missed three of the Stones but never felt inclined to catch up. So this happens to be my 27th stone.

 
Blooming Stones
 
With each Stone, we bloom
Like dancing flowers in Spring
Varied dazzling hues

Harmattan Rain

Jan '13 Mindful Writing ChallengeDay 26 of Mindful Writing Challenge. My 23rd stone.

More Rain

It rained so hard today, actually poured torrents. A wonderful thing and indeed so rare.

The common explanation is that of global warming, climatic change and such terms that only confuse the mind. All I know is that it hardly ever rains during Harmattan and so if the heavens have opened up and wept, who are am I not to bathe in the waters to sooth my fevered body and to enjoy the now coolness of my oven of a bedroom?

After all, I am refreshed enough and ensconced, penning another stone. 🙂

old age, Wisdom

Jan '13 Mindful Writing ChallengeDay 25 of Mindful Writing Challenge. My 22nd stone

Old Age

Lots of patience and calm moments
Topped with much tolerance
To deal with old age
In doing so, much warmth floats around
And love takes root, spreads and is reciprocated
Wisdom is gained

Harmattan

Jan '13 Mindful Writing ChallengeDay 23 of Mindful Writing Challenge. My 20th stone.

Rain

I spoke too soon yesterday.
For the sunshine that peeped though
the haze and warmed my heart
gathered clouds by eventide.
And soon the clouds, too angry
to take heed of the unusualness of the moment,
teared up and spilled over as rain,
oh copious rain that washed away the grime and abated the dust.
This morning, everywhere has been wiped clean
And we are breathing fresh air.
