October 28, 2013 – Lucid Gypsy

I haven’t tried the Daily Prompt at WordPress before, but somehow today it touched me, so I’m having a try. Michelle W. says . . .

‘Khalil Gibran once said that people will never understand one another unless language is reduced to seven words. What would your seven words be?

Photographers, artists, poets: show us SEVEN.’

I decided to haiku, here are my attempts.

Love

By seeking inside

first nurture and love yourself

then love you will attract

Pain

Bursting from my skin

searing, I must be alive

all consuming pain

Joy

Tiniest new growth

changing each new day

girl child brings me joy

Peace

Stillness of the dawn

a golden hour full of peace

before the world awakes

Death

Never far away

somewhere someone nears death

may it be timely

Freedom

No more oppression

human struggle for an end

eternal freedom

Thankful

Open wide your heart

abundance is yours, accept

always be thankful
