These read like little windows into bigger truths; goodbyes and questions of belonging, expressed with such simplicity. Beautifully written.

Vamsi Sudha said:
Dear Priya, Solitude is the best place in the world, and you have touched it gracefully.
Beautiful lines.......
I feel warmth in my own arms
My tears soft healing balms

Wind of Verses
Soman Ragavan said:
A paraphrase of the English translation of the writings :
--The threads of love are such that, once broken, they cannot be remade into the originals. The pains remain in memory. There is the similarity with physical threads : when rejoined, knots remain.
--The date tree has made itself inaccessible. No branches to hold on to while you climb it. It does produce fruits, but they remain inaccessible, at the top which is difficult to reach. The branches don’t give much shade. Even birds find it difficult to build nests up there. Thus, that tree has surrounded itself with defences.
--It is pointless to moan during hard times. This will change nothing. Change comes about in its own time.
--Principles and patience should not be broken. The fallen leaf will never go back to the spot where it came from. New leaves can come out, but they are different stories. Friendship is like glass. Once broken it can never be mended completely.
--When you are great, your words have power. Power to comfort, to soothe or to hurt. Speak humbly, as the writings say.
“Do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use, and keep thy friend
Under thy own life’s key; be check’d for silence,
But never tax’d for speech.”
--Shakespeare (1564-1616)
--Keep your sorrow under close guard. Sharing them can bring you trouble, for they are not all friends those that “befriend” us.

Priya, these haiku feel like little windows into stillness...the peacock in monsoon winds, dew like pearls, the rose smiling in her veil. Gentle, delicate, and quietly alive. A gift to read. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

In a way, you can\'t get hurt loving yourself, and you can even cancel dates on your own behalf without the grief.
I\'m liking this new way of life.

Three beautiful haikus each with their own merit and the last with thorns. Loved them all.
A stem bent with dew
kisses the lowest of all
but springs back anew
