Haiku time

Mussoorie, 2015

It was a cold day
Wild Dahlias were awake
on the mountain slopes.
:
On the mountain slopes
while romancing with nature
heart is filled with joy.
:
heart is filled with joy
I count breath in syllables
contemplative trance.

  3. Trances, especially contemplative ones, can be not only pleasurable, but also beneficial.

  8. I don't know what I like better, the soft mattress of flowers or the soft cushion of the words. But being greedy, I think I will take both.
