Oh I love the repetition of turning in lines 1 & 3. One representing life and the other death. Really cool🖤

Thanks HG, so happy that it gets a reading like that. I try and empty my mind first so the resonant bits like that can come in. That's the way I learned to do haikus all those centuries ago ;)

Ancient master say - demon picture box drives out images from spirit realm and makes you wish to eat pizza. Both things bad, one for soul, one for belly.

Water poured, the tree swallowed.

Stone king am appears, a white cobra.

Shiva fire did not destroy

Tree leaves are still intact.

I see what you did there😏 I feel like people would still go… like some kind of trendy way for old rich people to die.

Kali is a really interesting goddess, I love how wild she is.

I think it's really interesting that it's a female deity for death and time. I think most mythologies have males in those roles.

I only watch “Two And A Half Men” to keep my hatred running along just right without putting my old metal band back together
