Carpe Diem's Caravanserai

Good day dear friends,

It's a while ago that I published here on my haiku-blog, so today I love to change that. As you all maybe know I host a daily haiku meme Carpe Diem. This month (August) all prompts I use are (except the Specials) music videos by Karunesh, a New Age artist and muscian. Several years ago I discovered his wonderful music and I created a weblog about him on the Dutch Social Network Hyves.
His music is relaxing and meditative and for sure worth listening to.

Today I shared a music video titled "Caravanserai" a wonderful video which inspired me to write the following haiku:


through sands of time
I walk towards a caravanserai
to refresh my mind


Not a very strong one, but I think this haiku paints the feeling of wandering through the world to find myself which came up as I was listening at the music. I felt lost and alone, searching for knowledge, thursting for the truth.


Well ... maybe we see eachother another time again.

Namaste

I was looking for some nice relaxation music on You Tube and ran into a wonderful video on 'The Flight of an Eagle. Wonderful video on Eagle's Flight with wonderful music by Karunesh (a great artist). I discovered his wonderful music several years ago and was immediately in love with his wonderful music. I even made a hyves about him.

Back to my today's new post on Flight of an Eagle. Eagles are wonderful creatures with graceful flight it is really stunning to see them fly.

above the polder
graceful Eagle in his flight
searching for prey

endless sky -
King of Birds praying
Om Mane Padme Hum

praying in my dreams
to be an Eagle in his flight
what a freedom

It's really a wonder how this wonderful creature 'King of the Birds' as the American natives say, with his strength can bring you a deep spiritual feeling. Really awesome.
Next to the Egret ... the Eagle is one of my totems, both stand for strong meanings respectively 'Everlasting' and 'Holy Spirit'. I cherish my totems and in my dreams I visit them a lot, or when I am meditating I feel like an Eagle in his flight ... looking all around the world and see how wonderful Mother Earth is and how sad it is to see that we, her inhabitants, are demolishing her surface. Makes me sad ... but also filled with joy, because I know that Mother Earth is strong and will survive bringing us always a new Spring, new Hope and new Strength.

high above Mother Earth
I feel like an Eagle watching
searching for new life

searching for new life
inside with my Inner Eye
flight of an Eagle

What a delight ... writing about such a wonderful animal.
