Haiku ~ Wish

pegged on a kite tail,
I tag my wish, soaring...
hope and freedom, true !

within that kernel
lay hidden a dream,
a world, forever green !

no wish, no horse
no beggar rode, shush...
fantasy just died !


The theme Wish reminded me so much of Anne Lennox and Sweet Dreams .....

Sweet Dreams are made of these,
Who am I to disagree.
I travel the world across the seven seas,
Everybody is looking for something.....

    Kites may soar or they may plunge. What happens to your wish when the kite plunges?

      Nothing mmt... Nothing at all. For pegged on the tail is hope and freedom, and that lies within. No one can take it out of you, so soaring and plunging are just metaphors for your belief into yourself !! Your dream.

      Thanks Susan ! Fantasies are dreams...and dreams are wishes, sometimes realized , sometimes not. Matters not, because it is what keeps the human spirit going !!!

      Thank you, whistling ninja!! It is the seed that is the bearer of life, and when the green bursts forth, it is the free that goes back to bringing back life. A symbiotic relationship !!

    As I sat down to meditate my dearest...
    calmly closing my eyes.. I looked closely within..
    who is holding the base of the kite's thread.. me?
    Or do I find myself perched atop the kite?
    Either case, when the kite is set free.. it rides gently on the breeze ..
    I followed its path..
    Yess~~
    it glided into the greenest of green valley.. on a bed of pure white flowers..
    I find myself in absolute tranquility..
    Gently awakening to true freedom & peace which none other than I can gift my own self..
    Touching Haiku dearest Prem.. God bless & Shalom..
