our floating first home
close to heart-beat pumping love
our mother’s warm womb
~~~
earnest and zestful
I prepared your homecoming
but your coffin came
~~~
fragile miracle
carrying us from womb to grave
this body our home
~~~
yet freedom at last
unanchored and unfettered
my spirit wings home
~~~

How fragile, yet how much we can make happen. Miracle it is!!! well said- all Haikus in your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the set but the coffin as homecoming made me sad ~
ReplyDeleteEach of your haiku is so full of emotions, and a strong meaning ... thanks for such a wonderful set :-)
ReplyDeleteA sad story told in haiku, very strong emotions bringing tears to my eye.
ReplyDelete(I didn't find it sad) - I found your haiku to ring so true. Wonderful expression of our journey to find our home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
I found this sad but felt comforted by the last line verse 'my spirit wings home.' It is somehow joyful!
ReplyDeleteGreat disappointment and sorrow in that second one, but also a true reflection of life.
