Power Of Selflessness The truth is, without love no valid progress can be made. It’s surprising to learn how powerful love is and how this power can change the world we live in. Consider that governments can sign humanitarian pacts and withdraw from them at the last minute or if offended, women and children rights […]

May Sunrise
The humble morning rise from her sleep, Her twin rise from lands of unknown deep Smiling at boroughs, the sun leaves for solitary slumber Going before all; fauna & flora to a place of graceful wonder

Sail bright rays Scramble fair clouds, Dawn your mistress

Sun rays
Tall tree canopies, Sun rays filter Morning their phantom
Night fall dreams A ride through moonshine Home may tell tales
Clouds mock me Yet I touch the sky, I have no wings
Happy hawk surf, King of blue clouds, wind While silence look on Start blogging today.
Make your presence felt, No you, happiness withheld Complete, with you here… Want a blog like this? Try WordPress. (c) Arunav Barua (I.I.T Guwahati, North Guwahati, Assam)
Stars sing your herald Cold night, crickets quiz In quietness I lay alone Start your blogging experience here.
Galaxies shine, Cloudy night they belong Sea breeze play with waves
Night is falling, I wait on the stars To tell a tale or two
Two snails approach rail tracks Skies are grey Train horns afar

Haiku: Sunset
Fast the sun traveled awayHappy birds fly homeWhen evening breeze came
Green things are brown Harmattan made them so Even trees turn mad dancers
Sunlight rays peep through leaves Playful squirrels own the branches Mushrooms sit amused when nuts fall
Airy evening for all tree dwelling fellows Sparrows sing, Robins bass as crickets chirp Two happy lovers sit listening *** Hello everyone. I promised to post more about my hometown. I’m having issues uploading images, so I’ll do that once I’m back to town.
Soft wool, fluffy pillow, starry night Three fellows bidding a shepherd sleep Crickets sing from cracks in the wall
Sun rays, sea breezes; gold and blue fantasies, Twilight muse from clouds when evenings approach Noisy monkeys play beside the raffia palm forest

The Forest’s rhyme
Even before mists and dews evaporate The green forest was awake, tending to her residents But the cold iron snake will have none of her benevolence
Sunshine, blue skies and approaching tide Brown crabs crawl away, walking sideways Amused egrets follow, escorting their trail

Haiku of the Morning
See these sparkle of gold Brew bubbles across the clouds, While they sail away to other lands

The Baobab
This is for you humble castle, beautiful succour and living citadel, You whose roots are soft seats; you who shelter ants, mushrooms and birds, Your leaves are shield from rain, you are a friend to all that may come *** As we read through, let’s remember to play our role in protecting Earth’s vegetation and […]

Grey shades fall on the land, fast travels the sun through the clouds Songs of slumber, dog barks, the airy evening’s last memories, Time to wake all night creatures, crawling or walking

The unhappy hawk search the burning bush Folk say she was scouting for her old granny, But an escaping rabbit caught her attention instead

Twist and Turns
Twist and turns, that’s the song of life and the road But crawl, walk, run towards those brown hills, Dust shall become a dress or a travelling companion
Take a summer stroll down the green bush Find three squirrels play by fallen tree logs Splash! A frightened frog jumps into the quiet pond

Teach me to Love you again
For our love’s memory I cherish your love dose, Your care and your beauty, Each time the swift sun rose Gracefully, I recall our hopes… But the candle light dwindles And I miss you, now that it faints Teach me to love you again Embrace me when I fail; The hugs, cuddling, I’ll relearn- For […]

The night came and went, but we are awake to Gods call Though the night brought darkness and bricks of wall To everyone, men and women, great or small Yet the love of God wakes with us to perfect us all Good morning from Africa!

A short Psalm
When I found Your light amidst the darkness, it made my life so beautiful Up the mountains, down the valleys, in the hamlets and in towns The nights bring her blanket upon me, making my heart faint The cold feast upon my flesh, making me shiver and cry out But Your Providence surpasses all my […]

Haiku: Vain
Tonight it all became clear that the end was near All seemed absurd and unnecessary vain here The Earths’ toil, the men who strife Asking what is the essence of life?

For the consciousness come thither to my weary soul The light shining upon the shades of my life The hope and love burning above all, in my heart I say Thanks Lord!

Haiku: The Bridge
What is more beautiful than to build bridges To bring two different worlds together To bring in two nations to one embrace To bring land over a wide spread of water?
