It’s Haibun Monday again, and this week Michelle Beauchamp (aka Mish) asks us to join her at the dVerse Poets Pub and create/share a Haibun (prose/haiku combo) incorporating some ‘Give Me Shelter’ imagery…

At Last
These days, at last, most things feel outside. It’s not that things feel any less real or any less maddening but that, finally, after his life-long search for tranquility, seeking a means to separate himself from the chaos unfolding outside his tiny window on the collapsing universe, he has found the perfect trigger for his meditations, allowing him to hone his inner peace.
a temple bell tolls
he sits and waits for silence
breathing easier

Scrambled, Not Fried 
“…the sunset bell.” This was a wonderful, tranquil piece Ron. I love the resonance of bells/chimes/gongs… anything struck with a mallet. It stirs me inside — and I need some damn stirring. Enjoyed this! 🙂✌🏼❤️
You had me at “outside his tiny window on a collapsing universe”. Kudos for the notion, real or surreal. I once read “the answers to all the problems in the universe are an inside job”; indeed.
Beautiful and filled with hope.
This is a poem of catharsis and hope. I’m glad he’s found his inner peace.
Very peaceful, Ron.
And breathe…
A shelter for the body and mind. Love this, Ron.
A welcome respite. Well done.
I love how you turned the shelter to that tranquility inside
Inner peace…. a shelter we should never need to search for. A wonderful take on the prompt.
*sigh*
Love this, Ron! Wonderful sound to the bell.
