My Jubilee
on the eve and threshold
of the most important day of my life,
I look back on my forty-nine years
whispering Jasmine-flavoured words
of thanks to my Maker.
For thus far He has brought me.
2
the welcome chirp of birds to rouse
the slow stream of rays through dawn
the heady scents of blooms to brighten
even in the almost silent zzzzinnnng of waters
a rush of lullaby to still my fevered spirit
I see your might
3
ever gently, pushing, urging, calming,
cradling, nurturing, molding
mere clay to refine
I am what you have made me
I am because You are
Alpha and Omega
4
I sing because I am happy
I sing because I am free
I sing because your face has shone upon me
not for forty nine years
but for fifty years
I sing my Jubilee!

Done for Carpe Diem. The first one is for my birthday. 🙂
Leap
time suspends
slowly exhaling
the now
2
breathless moment
time stands still
only to roll back

fiesta of balloons
floats serene with Haiku flames
She is one year old.

Done for Carpe Diem. We are to complete the following haiku by the Becca Givens with your own two lines of 7-7 syllables each. Yesterday, I witnessed a partial eclipse of the sun and today being my birthday I’m combining both events to complete the Tan Renga. Hope I make some sense 🙂

On a lighter note, these humble offerings are sure to put the smile on your faces as they have done mine. I am looking forward indeed.

My birthday comes in three days
I am truly blessed.

And dispel the gloom
