From zero
An endless journey
Quest of life
World we see
Is a wonderland
Love portrait
River runs
Royal ocean roars
Heart beats heard
Bricks delight
Every sculpture built
Cast a spell
Zestful path
Realism reckons
Thirst to dwell
Masks circle
Kid, teen, youth, adult
To zero
Enlightenment, main aim of our existence, is the dream of every soul. When we reckon the ‘realism’, wonderland builds in front of our eyes. Thirst to live in this wonderland is the enlightenment. It involves us playing many roles at times- from zero (birth) to zero (death). Zero defines an infinite life (endless journey) – all in the big circle- where ‘the start’ and ‘the end’ is indefinite!
This is haiku written with eleven syllables count.
[Haiku is Japanese poetry form that has three meaningful lines which are complete and reflecting nature. Haiku have syllabic limitations as well. Syllables and words aren’t the same thing. For e.g. the single word “traditional” would have four syllables since it’s pronounced “tra-di-tio-nal”. A traditional haiku has eleven or seventeen syllables, in a strict 3-5-3 or 5-7-5 format. ]
