LQ India Team: Intention Haigas 2021

life’s longest night ~ I
lay awake with open palms
the Golden hour calls

(Painting by Shivani, haiku by Sukanya)

running wild and free
at last, out in nature – I
smile watching your face

(Photo by Sasha of Kaio with his cousins in Lonavla; haiku by Sukanya)

this serenity
of nature embracing us ~
universe is me

(Moira, Goa, Natasha’s home, haiku by Sukanya)

grass, birdsongs, and you
a day is a miracle
watching you grow up

(Divam, Kiran’s nephew in their garden, haiku by Sukanya)

nature’s passion blooms

in service of greater good ~

graceful surrender

(Gazania flower, also known as African daisies: photo and haiku by Sukanya)

the wonders of land

and imagination ~ shade

of coconut trees

(Neethi’s mom contemplating a coconut farm; haiku by Sukanya)

a world made of snow

and dung and Nagapushpa ~

the Himalayas

(Anisha’s family trip, Avi’s curiosity about animal poop; haiku by Sukanya)

sun sets on my past
lighthouse guides me through darkness
towards a new dawn

(Photo and haiku by Bhushan; Achara Beach, B’s native place)
