Zephyr said Feb 19, 4:07 PM:

Golden
hours when love flows
all life’s treasures unfold
like petals of most beautiful
flowers

Flowers
Bursting through sand
In those rare desert rains
Seeds that lay dormant first stir then
Subside

I hope you don’t mind the image, Gael.

Subside
into decay,
that spirit rise anew
to bloom once again in beauty,
new life

new life
surprises us
with its vibrant power
emerging from what seemed wholly
a void

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Zephyr said Apr 19, 12:36 PM:

A void
nonexistence
the neccessary space
where things may materialise
by chance

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Meenakshi said Apr 19, 1:39 PM:

By chance
I wandered once
To a field of flowers
Verdant beauty, countless colors
Unseen

Unseen
Night rain drizzles,
Soaking the parched bare ground:
New grass raised like a soft green fog
At dawn.

Zephyr said Apr 26, 2:01 PM:

At dawn
I am surprised
summer arrives early
two notes repeat, cuckoo, cuckoo,
cuckoo.

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Nicole said Apr 26, 2:29 PM:

cuckoo
two haunting notes
high, wild, free, full of joy,
the longing in my heart bursts forth:
summer!

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Meenakshi said Apr 27, 4:03 AM:

summer!
poinciana
red cardinal flies north
but in miami it's still cool
like spring

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Zephyr said Apr 28, 5:20 AM:

Like spring
our children rise
to full bloom in summer
evolve, trancend our lifetimes work
in growth

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Nicole said Apr 28, 5:32 AM:

in growth
astonishing
and delighting us all
we are humbled by the way
they shine

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Zephyr said May 8, 3:51 PM:

They shine
hearts all aglow
broken wide open, filled
to brim with love and compassion
for All.

for All
for All is oNe
four corners make a square
six squares make a cube, & inside:
bubblez

Fa- La- La- La- La- La- La- said May 8, 4:27 PM:

bubblez,
spherical space
where the surface static
creates, within, a single charge.
physics

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Zephyr said May 15, 8:26 AM:

Physics
it's natural
for universal law
as we are interconnected
all One

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Zephyr said Jun 8, 12:35 PM:

All One
A Fingals cave
each web intermingled
patterns of life interweaving
beauty

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Meenakshi said Jun 24, 7:42 PM:

beauty
is finding you
In the twists and turns of
The Labyrinth of light at Gaia
True, Gael?

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Zephyr said Jun 25, 11:49 PM:

True, Gael?
Beauty in truth
growing towards higher
spirit brings us All together -
One Truth.

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

sherab said Jun 26, 9:37 PM:

One truth–
A ragged grin–
My tongue explores the gap.
One missing tooth, rules the world
through pain.

Re: Cinquain Train, New Thread 2

Meenakshi said Jun 27, 11:18 PM:

Through pain
The babe squeezes
Out into the wide world
Out of this world into the next
Ascend

Ascend
and be inspired
use imagination
to enable change and to fire
progress
