In Time -Haiga-

in time I will heal from life’s bitter sweet moments if I take the chance to remember all can sometimes be rewarding if I pay the price forgetting the past makes more room for the future if I can forgive Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S.

forgetting the past makes more room for the future. Such wisdom in this verse, Caryl. The forgiving part is a must, if one expects to have good success. Congratulations on a worthy third. Agape, Moses

This is not a "Haiku", it is a "Haiga" which means; (?? haiga?, haikai drawing) is a style of Japanese painting based on the aesthetics of haikai, from which haiku poetry derives, which often accompanied such poems in a single piece. Like the poetic forms it accompanied, haiga was based on simple, yet often profound, observations of the everyday world.
