Body to riches
Soul prefers poor pure note
Enlightened music
~
Blinding light knocks on
Resisting mind shields no more
Chasing out darkness
We always consider our body to be our identity and worry so much on how we look, carry ourselves. We want good clothes, decorative chic accessories. That's fine until we realize what really needs beautification is our soul which is our real identity. Our body is just a carrier for our soul which will one day weaken and give up. What will live on is our soul. What a soul needs is a pure carrier, not a decorative one. There is nothing wrong in wanting to look good. But i think that should be secondary. First strive to have a pure mind, push out the darkness and let the light fill in! Don't resist the good.
This Haiku is written for the Haiku Heights. The prompt for the week is 'SOUL'.
Oh, so beautiful!

DeleteNice thoughts Pranita ~ I find the pure poor note though very generic and thought it would be best if you can draw on a specific image. If I may suggest:
ReplyDeletei light a candle
to chase the darkness away,
music to my soul
