Zappai of the Day

Ancient rituals

are revived from times long past.

Incense fills the air.

Zappai of the Day

Over soaring cliffs,

amidst the green rolling hills,

lies Emerald Isle.

Zappai of the Day

To those that make Noise,

whose sounds disturb fragile peace,

are deaf to music.

Yearning for freedom,

I struggle against censors

that muzzles my voice.

Zappai of the Day

Adrift and afar,

I wander off without aim

'till my path opens.

Oh, so close to her,

I hear my hearbeat racing -

butterflies abound!

Spontaneous Zappai

Alone, looking out,

I gazed into the darkness;

back to sleep I went.

A strong desire swells

to forge paths yet to be known.

Dawn's light shines brightly.

The most vibrant love

hails from the Self, not beyond.

Without found reason

Gentle mercy from

the one who hears all our cries.

Compassion blossoms

More Zappai Haiku

Learning at late hours,

my mind races with knowledge

and now longs for sleep.

Pushing myself on

Pursuing creative ends -

Purging suffered thoughts
