As spring makes its way
12 January 2016
Lucid dreams awake
Ice yesterday’s snow grown cold
Faith a kindling fire
Wish upon a star
Watch it travel translucent
Into horizons
I will reach you there
Our bodies luminous arks
Love’s aspiration
Thoughts limpid as snow
Anticipation of chill
Flowing through the bones
The souls translucent
Travel through winter’s long breath
A world of belief
Your heart’s white crystals
Promise of pearls for my heart
Dewdrops a lifeline
Thawing crystal flakes
Hope a glimmer of relief
As spring makes its way
Written using the words from Ronovan Writes Haiku Prompt and challenge for this week, Hope and Crystal. Pingback and rules here
Ruhe – Schiller
Falling – Schiller & Moya Brennan
Die Liebe – Schiller
A string of icy pearls 🙂

This gives such hope and promise in what can sometimes be an overwhelming place. Spring is just around the corner and is evident everywhere I look. A beautiful piece but then I never expect anything less from your very capable self.

Thank you Eric. It might sound surprising but the idea came from the song Diamonds sung by Rihanna. I was viewing the video and when she smokes the diamonds I was thinking about lungs and then about heart, hence the image and link to the rest 🙂

I haven’t seen any thawing crystal flakes yet, but I’m looking forward to them. Great seasonal haiku.

Thank you. I am glad you liked it. I actually might have slipped in a Senryu or two as well so categorised it in both. We should have hairyu and Senku to make up for these situations 🙂

I suppose then you might have people arguing whether a particular poem was a hairyu or a senku. 🙂

Awwww cmon! It is a hairyu if it is mostly a haiku and a bit of a senryu and senku the other way around (like people actually agree fully on what is a haiku and what is a senryu 😀 bwahahahaaa). Thank goodness Thomas Ledrew does not visit your page or he would rap me on the knuckles for learning things wrong 😀
ah ah ah I just realised we were commenting on my own page 😛

Thank you Tosha. I wrote once about the two feelings hope and grief; I often alternate between them my mind and “heartset”. As an empath, I might be feeling very joyful yet will be full of sadness a minute later if I cross the path of someone depressed

Yes, now that the holidays have passed I suppose we are all just waiting for spring. Lovely verse as usual!
