Evergreen flower
It survives in all seasons
My friend and guide, hope.
Hope, my golden sun
I, a sunflower, facing
Him with unbound faith.
In the starry nights,
I lay naked with my wounds
Hope cleanses my soul.

ReplyDeleteA fine trio - the first one, for me, is the strongest; but that's just being picky! YAM xx
Aah, brilliant Purba, the third one hit the deepest. Keep up the great work dear.
ReplyDeleteI loved each one of your haikus. Beautiful descriptions of hope.
ReplyDeleteHope is all that you say and it indeed does stay by helping you get through the impossible. Letting you take that very first step. Beautifully done.
ReplyDelete'Hope cleanses my soul' - great way to end with these lines. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHope indeed is something that keeps you going against all the odds. Third one for me as well was the best!
