* * *
after fireworks
the silence of a single star
marking the new path

* * *

More warmth to bring to each other,
more white thoughts, love and peacefulness.
More belief in the road ahead, full of adventures – expected and unexpected ones.
And the light of a dream – like a burning candle through the darkness.
Happy New 2016!

It Will Come…

I was thinking about the best way to sum up the departing year, wondering what the right words would be until I found this song… The original version is from my childhood – from an old Russian movie about Mary Poppins, bringing back lovely memories. And I have the feeling it fits also today…when something is about to end and something new – to begin. Things change, winds do and so do we together with them…

The world keeps turning like a carousel,
Enchanted with an everlasting spell
With winds of malice, envy, strife and gall
Can’t count them all…

Can’t count them all-no life has been immune
To strife and anger that arise so soon
To crush our dreams and then instill our fears
With rains of tears and winds so fierce.

Day and night, the world of ours has ever been
Going ’round the sun,
Making all the storms of life and biting winds
Come full circle now.

Yet in this world there is a wind of change,
It comes to cause all things to rearrange.
It will come flying when the time is right-
To drive away the winds of strife.

Day and night, the world of ours has ever been
Going ’round the sun
Making all the storms of life and biting winds
Come full circle now.

Soon the raging winds will halt and cease
All the way beyond our range
It will come, this tender, fresh and warmer breeze
Called the wind of change…

Cherish each other&every moment that life gives you, and have a wonderful New Year!

Carpe Diem’s Vision Quest *New Moon*

On By Ese' s VoiceIn Haiku5 Comments

There is a new feature on Carpe Diem, called “Vision Quest”, where our inspiration is a particular haiku, chosen by our Carpe Diem host Chèvrefeuille. This time it is a nice spiritual haiku, written by Chèvrefeuille himself:

new moon
she, our moon will grow again
a new life cycle

The following one is mine, where I tried to stay close to the same mood and spirit:

most secret wishes
released in hopeful whispers
upon a new moon
