Joy of Living - Haiku

The prompt for Carpe Diem #891 is the modern kigo 'joy of living'. Details about this kigo here.

Joy of Living, I think, is in being aware of the beauty around oneself. It is finding joy in the small things.

Joy is in having the leisure to enjoy coffee, and books, and ghazals.

coffee at leisure
break from daily chores
open book awaits

dim living room
ghazal singer swoons
my personal concert

What am I returning to, I have a home? ©Nimi Arora Prompt by and Shared with- Poets United Midweek Motif - Human Trafficking
