  • Poetry Pea Journal

    The Poetry Pea Journal 1:23 also features my short haibun—Music of the Soul. Hope you will enjoy reading it.

    Music of the Soul

    Looking for a book on my bookshelf, I scan and touch my beloved friends of years past. My fingers gently brush their spines. I find “The Singer and His Song” a biography of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. I listen to his lyrical Bengali song sung by the author Reba Som on the accompanying CD. The words are barely understood, yet my eyes close and I enter a world of magic. 

    snow-edged
    the wayside stream
    still gurgles
