A Haiku about Life
Poetry by Bahamian poet - Dennis Arthur Dames - Nassau, The Bahamas - with valued thoughts worth sharing.
Expressing it’s so difficult…
And words are so scarce right now
I’m thinking about something…
I know that it’s worth sharing
Writer’s block must be my condition…
I feel so helpless… and lost
I’m surrounded by motivation…
I feel the energy of excitement
But the words I seek are holding me hostage
I’m restless…
I shall forget my frustration for now
And focus on a meaningful task in the interim
Take a walk perhaps…
Or simply a short drive
Disregard the ink and paper for a while…
Temporary conditions are facts of existence…
A dead-end in writing’s no exception
Be prepared for when the fountain flows again…
And record those depictions in wonderful words preponderance

The winds of change are eternal
Sustaining life internal
As the sun burns brisk in the sky
The winds of eternity are dutifully alive
With the refreshed wind comes new life
And the old and faded, are relieved accordingly

Whispers resonate in the night...
Homage paid to the old trite
Giggles occasionally, and stamping feet
Exaggeration in full competition...
Acting out the notorious repetition
Chatter and gossip- the night stood still...
Not even a break for a unified thrill
Blab, whine and scandal...
No end in sight, except daybreak perhaps...
Yeah, oh yes...
Wow, someone said- 'goodnight'!
An engine started, and suddenly there was one less
Then, the goodbyes became contagious
A deafening silence followed
The night was finally liberated and free!
The divine sounds and songs became alive...
The natural creatures rejoicingly subscribed
Whispers correctly transformed...
The night's essence duly reborned
