Truly Alive

By Vidya Sury

Time lost, moments missed
Words unsaid spill on paper
All that’s left is hope

♥

Unshed tears, eyes red
Heartbroken, heavy with grief
Peace of mind, a dream

♥

Music floods choked brain
Blending notes, playing havoc
Orchestrating pain

♥

Life‘s rainbow hues glow
Painting laughter, joy, fears
Hope returns anew

♥

Memories rush in
Eliminate solitude
Sunshine streams again

♥

Soothing words, warm hugs
Wrap my mind, reassure me
My soul smiles with love

♥

Motivation blooms
Happiness fills dark corners
Whispering, “have faith”

♥

Nostalgic rain dance
Drenches hungry thoughts lazing
In the mind’s playground

♥

Pink colored glasses
Make faded forgotten scenes
Come truly alive

♥

This is a set of ten haikus for the prompt “Truly Alive”

Sharing is caring!
