When waves transport to the new shore.

Staying on safe shore

In love with beauty of life

Battle ship arrives

Waves transport

Other shore awaits 

Unlocked challenges

Calm waters welcome

Unfamiliarity breeds

Waves will rise again?

When we get accustomed to a way of life, familiarity is very comforting. We run away from change and get used to being contented with what we have. Being contented is nice, but not when we can achieve much much more. Change is always hard to deal with. When we climb our battle ship transporting us to our new destination, we flinch! Even the calmness seems to be scary, even though the previous place had been a rage. What matters to us then is the fact that it's unfamiliar. And that fear of the unknown hampers our steps. But we forget we are humans. We are programmed to adjust to the new surroundings very fast. Time will pass by, the calm waters will find waves again, until one fine day when yet another battle will needs us to fight yet another battle of life. So why not be prepared without hanging our hearts on our sleeves?

Waves teach a fresh start - A Haiku.

 

 Erasing footprints

Blank sand left on wailing shore

Waves teach a fresh start 

Every wave comes along the shore every second erasing every little sign of what was there earlier. No it doesn't forget, but it clears. It tells us it's not possible to easily forget and move on.. but it's possible to begin afresh, have a new beginning.. a new start. It's possible to begin with a clean slate at any moment we choose to. Like the waves, every second our thought waves will give us a clear mind, provided we want it! So learn from the waves to make a new beginning.

This Haiku is written for The Heights of Haiku - April 2012. The word for today was 'WAVES'.
