a cinch it'll fulfill life's sanctity

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

  5. Ah, 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".

    'like a sleepy child in snow drift amidst the junk

  12. a bud about to bloom - no directions - it just does. Prayers really should be like that - not seeking but just asking for acceptance...
