the paper lanterns
float away to neverland
pure light of spirits
~
burning with ethereal light
stream adorned with memories

* I’m glad that Kristjaan has chosen one of my haiku for the Carpe Diem Tan Renga Session this week; complimenting the haiku are two seven-syllable lines, completing the renga.

The mystery about paper lanterns and the sea are incredible beautiful. And the reason why I say this, is because no matter how much we want to fly towards the sunset. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be to touch the sun and the ocean.
