spices and herbs (haiga)



© C.L.R. May 2014


angels smiling
sprinkling sweet-smelling dreams
budding lilacs

Dreams are scattered spices and herbs making life palpable and fragrant.

The prompt at Carpe Diem #549 is  "dreams" and our host has quoted several verses from Khalil Gibran.

[...] "How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?" [...]

[...] "The flowers of spring are winter’s dreams related at the breakfast table of the angels". [...]

[...] "I would not be the least among men with dreams and the desire to fulfill them, rather than the greatest with no dreams and no desires".[...]

Our host wrote these dreamy haiku for this the second verse. The imagery is breathtaking.

[...] "The flowers of spring are winter’s dreams related at the breakfast table of the angels". [...]


breakfast with angels
as spring is starting after the cold -
flowering trees

after the dark winter
cherry trees are blooming again
Ah! what a joy!
