Image: In prayer (here)
the 12 given words
cinch (a certainty to happen)
chime sign fine line sleepy
child snow junk bud trees trunk
Namaste, Suwadeekap!
extending a welcome or in prayers
the clasping of both hands in humility
draws on the sub-conscious
a cinch it'll fulfill life's sanctity
the emotional void subject to chimes
to rightly check the blessings of Providence
between awareness of guilt signs
to that of prostrating in submission
fine line trending devoid of emotions
like a sleepy child in snow drift amidst the junk
a bud about to bloom without directions
but with potential befitting of a strong tree trunk

ReplyDeleteLove how you merged each prompt here, Hank.
ReplyDeleteAh, I too love how you turned the subject matter, a sign of greeting, into this nuanced observation. I liked this bit in particular: "fine line trending devoid of emotions/like a sleepy child in snow drift amidst the junk".
ReplyDeleteI love how you explored the clasping of hands...an intriguing journey into the subconscious indeed!

ReplyDeleteI love the lines:
ReplyDelete'like a sleepy child in snow drift amidst the junk
a bud about to bloom without directions'.
I love this, the "Namaste, Suwadeekap" got me! I love foreign language and these words got me!
ReplyDeletea bud about to bloom - no directions - it just does. Prayers really should be like that - not seeking but just asking for acceptance...
ReplyDeleteNamaste my friend - Kind thoughts, kind words, kind heart
