A RANDOM LEAF
A walk through the corridors of prayer halls,
crossing the beams of light and shades,
steep ascents over hills and dales,
through mists and blinding rains,
my journeys have brought me a glimpse
of the void within.
The rain and the mists slide over
the hills and the shades of grey.
The opulence of the rain
and the insistence of the green,
that I must stay
a little longer to speak,
to hold a dialogue with the one who listens
whenever I have the need.
A surge of empathy draws,
and I borrow a leaf from the Great Tree of life;
I scribble my thoughts and let the leaf float
in the hope that someday, somewhere
in times of grief, this leaf may reach
randomly some heart in need.

Aloha leaf of love
Reached my heart
Tripped upon sea
shore I reached
Bottle on the beach.
Within the written
words find me.
Help me breath,
My last breath
reach deep please.
Find my heart
again speak kindly.
Spooning intwined,
the leaf spoken mind.

Hugs Dear new friends
of mine from Hawaii
Dear friends if you ever arrive at yesterday I had to laughter at this GIF
Sorry no disrespect
It's just too cute hugs
From Oahu the most remote place on this earth
