If I look back, I see you... If I look ahead, I see you... If I close my eyes, I see you... If I dream, I see you... You are all around me... With your words, you touch my heart With your love, you touch my soul Still, my heart aches for your warm touch My whole life revolves around you, My Sun... You are the closest.... Still, you are so far...
We too are shivering here... weather has changed so fast.

Ya.. n i guess im falling prey to this change..
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDelete:) Thanku so much sir... I'm really delighted to read ur comments... I read somewhere that in real Haiku's they mention the season... I don't know if its necessary or not... but I just tried using it...
ReplyDeleteI am not too learned on the subject, Charu. I have also wondered about this. It could be that haiku had evolved from the Zen Buddhist culture. Zen is meditation, being integrated with the whole. When you are integrated with the whole, you are alive to the pulsebeats of everything around you. You merge with the whole. Then the birds, the trees, the hills, the rivers...and, yes, even the bustle of the city become part of you. You place yourself only within the context of the whole. You become a hyper-sensitive antenna picking up the subtle changes in the mood around you...And, have you noticed this--the mood of the whole is all about the seasons. I guess one need not bring in the name of the season in a haiku for it to be called a haiku, if one can convey otherwise the meditative experience of being with the whole.
ReplyDeleteAm I talking sense? I don't know.
It's all making sense... Just that I need some more understanding... of the world... of the life... and of the whole... as u call it
