Aging Comforts

Tis morning

Time to wake up

Turning to feel

The breath of life

Tis day

Time to do chores

Trying to pass

The minutes of life

Tis evening

Time to cook dinner

Taking great care

These small acts of life

Tis night

Time to snuggle in bed

Telling each other in whispers

Those loving moments of life

Living

Mindless work

Breathless life

But then

Take time

Or else

Lose spirit

Take heed

Make time

Failing which

Lose life

Use time

Savour passion

No excuses

Live life

Many thanks for the pointers .. I will try to improve.

I am so used to writing short poems on any type of paper (including napkins) and stuffing all these papers into shoeboxes (I am a crazed shoe-shopper - thus the many shoeboxes) .. that I don't have time to re-think my poems. I did write for a friend who has great pictures and once I figured out how to attach those poems together with the pictures, I will post them too.

Again, my appreciation for your kind words.

New and old ...

New horizon

For shared lives to explore

Old process

For like minds to think

New friends

For same spirits to be

Old words

For kindred souls to share

Home

Within the strength of the walls

Upholds the strong haven from all

From the smells of the stove

Stirs the warmth of two

Over the sounds of the outside

Bonds the souls inside

Above all calls heard

Holds the love lived

Just wanting to know if I am acceptable by that poem?

Haiku of Life

Silence of the night

Tears fall from Mother Nature

Heard only by child

Only a child would

Hear such crying in the dark

For the child is naive

Wish grown-ups would be

That innocent to hear of

Such lovely silence

Mother Nature is

Just crying for the loss of

Purity of man

Just to live and love

Leaving all else behind him

Hatred and darkness

When a child becomes

An adult in ways and means

He loses than gains

So in all manners

Keep the child-likeness within

As the tale goes on

A child within man

Finds love in living fully

Joy within his reach

I want to have that

Child within my heart and soul

To live and love life
