Writing with Gibran -Traveller - 28 August, 2014

Today's post on Carpe Diem Haiku Kai dedicated to "Sea and Foam" by Khalil Gibran is a fascinating post on traveller par excellance, nomads.  I would really rccomend you take a look at Chèvrefeuille's creation. Magnificent!

[...] "A traveler am I and a navigator, and every day I discover a new region within my soul". [...] "Sea and Foam"

a new journey

along the roads of God's Creation

seeking the truth within

seeking the truth within

the road like the Honeysuckle (*) bush

a new journey

I've waited too long
the road calls to me .. come home
 endless winding trails

one step at a time
the road leads the traveller
unto herself

time to pack her bags
her nomadic soul calls
the trail - her home

an illusion
the traveller never remains
no roots to hold her down

Writing With Gibran - Solitude (Inner Self) - August 18, 2014

 

Chevrèfeuille writes on Carpe Diem Haiku Kai:

For today's prompt I have chosen a nice quote from "Sand & Foam":

[...] "Solitude is a silent storm that breaks down all our dead branches; Yet it sends our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth". [...]

This post was particularly interesting and revealing to me ... I can so sympathize with the author and curator of Carpe Diem through this post more than I ever have before.  I really think you should drop by to read the post.
In the meantime, this is Chèvrefeuille's haiku:

 deep down inside
hiding in the deeper layers of the soul
divine inspiration

Another haiku/senryu ispired on this post:

scent of incense
guiding me through the depths of my soul -
showing the light

© Chèvrefeuille

 through the lonely mist
walking solitary paths
seeking connection

the human journey
through the meanders of soul
enlightened nature

together with nature
united spirit and soul
the lonely voyage

the pitter patter
rain falls on the tarmack
a heartbeat

solitude
silence of inner self
reaching out for nature
