sweeping the porch
bright prints of raindrops
followed by splashes
~
a silent bright noon
swept across the verandah-
moving shades of trees

gleaming bright colors
hued with the paints of sparkle
fireworks in the sky
~
fun festival times
a play of fire all around
the burning night skies
~
radiant ablaze
reflecting back the beauty
still river waters
~
the dusk approaches
warding off evil spirits
with glazing fireworks
~
across river bank
looking for the hanabi
come hoards of tourists
~
a boom and a bang
piercing silence of the dark
the lights of glory
*Written in response of Carpe Diem # 229.
“Attention!”
Bright sunlight pierced his eyes as he stepped into the fine painting and heard a loud baritone, “Attention!”
He looked around to find out the place of origin of the deep voice. But there was nobody around nearby, except for a guard standing alert with a rifle facing upwards, held in his palms; his face impassive, devoid of any emotions and his dark eyes sparkling.
There were people at a distance but he was sure nobody could see him and the still life beside him.
“What are you looking at?” spoke someone from behind.
He returned back to the reality.

shimmering fireflies
into the eyes of beloved
a passionate love
~
old stream of water
soldier returns home from war
black tears, fireflies gone
~
midnight moon shines bright
hotaru glows at distance
illumination
~
a mid-summer day
young boys trot towards river
waiting for the fire
~
waters set on fire
man gazing into his soul
a soundless twilight
~
splendor of fireflies
fairy tale coming to life
spectators gather
