angels smiling
sprinkling sweet-smelling dreams
budding lilacs
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!
