~*~*~
With the Crane came happiness,
And sunlight dissolved the darkness
That had permeated deep into the soul.
The warmth crept up slowly,
Taking away the numbness inside,
And with it the melancholic echoes.
The silence it brought lingered on,
Like peace after a great storm,
And no chaos was left anymore.
This Great Crane, this wondrous bird,
Flew into my heart without a word,
And with it, came the essence of life.

very graceful writing… reminds me of a short story i read a long time ago, “the scarlet ibis”…
Wow, its really nice!!! đŸ™‚
Very image filled, vivid. Lovely.
Hopefully the crane will keep you company for awhile.
nicely done, to use crane to represent understanding of life’s essence is wonderful, it goes well with the meaning of crane “to stretch so as to see better”
enjoyable read
creative, well done.
The crane brought along inner peace. Cleansing and heartening.
Good work!
Beautiful.

And no chaos was left anymore.
This Great Crane, this wondrous bird,
Flew into my heart without a word,
And with it, came the essence of life.
A lovely, melodic, emotionally sagacious sentiment. Thank you.

Very inspiring!
Superlative word play. Haven’t been through in a while & it’s good to see you’re still producing such fine work. Hope all is well,

… and with the crane came the light in her eyes and the butterflies in her heart! Let it be like this for a very long time! It’s lovely Sonam, you’ve said so much in a very few words!
I love the light tone of the poem and how symbolic the crane is. I’m glad it came into your life and gave your life an essence. (:
This is a great poem with a lot of symbolism. Great use of words!
Wonderfully written. Beautiful đŸ™‚
i love cranes, beautiful birds and a beautiful poem
I love them cranes.
When expected love comes into our heart, our numbness goes away. What a way to say it! Beautifully gathered words, Sonam.
What is this crane I wonder. Beautifully crafted.
what a wonderful piece! heavy rhyming! it’s brilliant i love it!
“The silence it brought lingered on…” I enjoyed this line. It reminds me of a Crane that came to visit a flood plain near where I lived. Crane stood partially in the flooded meadow grass and partially on the grassy bank, half in sun and half in shade. What struck me was its peaceful existence in water and on land. A very graceful bird.
very imaginitive!
The joy of birds can bring ever lasting peace. Taking the simple things and letting them in and do wonders. Great piece. đŸ™‚
Amen to that, Sonam!
Beautifully illustrated… and the photograph you’ve clicked absolutely complements your words… the combination had a very soothing feel to it…
