Beyond Appearances
Arm in arm the mother leads her daughter to the piano where she takes her seat.
The piano sits mute until she gives it voice. Lucy is neurodivergent with few
words but her heart is a flower. Her fingers dust the silence with perfume. Lucy
plays a Chopin nocturne, her pigtails swinging as she continuously moves her
head from side to side. The notes rise feather-soft, firm as a swan’s breast, fall to
silence, then sound again.

Finger on finger was how she learnt to play. She laid her hands on top of her
teacher’s hands. Where he went, she followed.

Warmest New Year wishes to all of you from Triveni Spotlight!
Though any day of the year is good to begin something new, the first day of the new year comes with a tinkle of celebration. No better day than this to do something new here on Spotlight.
Presenting a collection of uplifting haibun this month, each that speaks of hope, peace, joy or acceptance, all from the archives of haikuKATHA.
May 2025 be filled with all of the above for you, dear poets.
