beautifiull calm, atmospheric with lovely bell detailing...

touching not the blossoms....while caressing the soul, from the temple bell's voices-:) beautiful solitude- well done!

So incredibly smooth and gentle! Feels like time is slowing down.

It captures the slow flow of time. In this sacred space, I feel a guidance to purity.

Temple Bell's Voice (Naviarhaiku 580  )

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records. 
A two-note bell ringing above a flowery meadow.

In The Belly Of A Scarecrow (prelude)

TIC TAC TOE

Into the sharpened sky

The Storm

Let me not be a storm,
descending over the city.

Let me not be a bomb,
that in its own noise 
cannot recognize the victim.

Let me be a wrapping,
that absorbs sounds 
and creates silence.

Let me be an opportunity,
that appears by the wall.
