Poem By: air
Poetry


ok there are two, the first is of course about the sun duh.
and the second, well, it is about Orange sunshine, which was popular in the early 70's. "LSD" so, anyhoo, the title she gave me to write a Haiku out of is "ORANGE"
and this is it.................* View table of contents...

ORANGE

an orb seems to fall

orange glares; is it on fire?

and now it is gone~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fear or ecstasy?

a drop of orange sunshine

oh, where could I be?

OH MY GOD KATIE, for today, i am transported to a completely new environment.....I have always loved sun and the positivity associated with Surya namaskaram....

And look your poem is posted .....

U know Katie, Baba used to say that early morning Sun comes and wakes us up and so our feet should never face towards east side....that is we should sleep with our head towards east side of the room so that Sun blesses us with positivity....
lol...there i go again...

But this is the effect SUN has on me buddy always....
I stopped doing Surya namaskaram when i joined medicals till date due to various reasons....busy, gettin up late, sleeping late due to studies etc etc etc

But this poem brought back those lovely memories of childhood back....lovely memories....

Oh YES! never sleep with your feet towards the east! ^_^
I know this too! yes if you sleep with your head facing west, you will have restless sleep. it is also very good to have your head facing north ^_^
surya namaskaram "sun salutation" YES! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

hahaha it is always so good to talk with you Pratibha ^_^
Thankyou so much, I have a so very good day ahead of me today ^_^ I hope you do too ^_^
