Sorting out struggling moments, listening to Dolly Parton: A coat of many colours, a rainbow of wisdom sang for changing. Turning back is possible, a turning point means new feet to walk on. I mean further, new feet to dance on. Let me take you for a dance. We can get our wings ready to fly. Let me be out of my dreams for a while. Let me be. Just let me be dreaming for a while. Let me be the coat of many colours knitted to be worn. Let me jump if it's possible, Let me caress your soft song. a song's beauty starts with old notes to be played with ~listen to the best

Dear Maria, this is so beautifully written with the beautiful picture to accompany it. I too, love many songs from Dolly Parton. Love the lines, ‘ a rainbow of wisdom’ ‘ Let me be the coat of many knitted colours to be worn’ especially. Your haibun is delightful. Loved reading this. I’m sending you a big get well hug from the flu my dear friend. Hope you feel better soon. Luv and smiles xx :):)

My dear Christina. Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Really you like this poem?... I don't think it's too good, but I'm really happy you visited me and to leave your always touching message to me. I adore the way you are. Thank you so much for everything. You know? I would like to be attending and reading all the poetry that you and others write, but appart from flu there are other struggles I have to face with at the moment. Really you are a fresh breeze that put a smile on my day. Have a nice evening my friend. Love/ María

This is so beautiful, I loved your word weaving so seamless and had a captivating cadence despite it being a haibun, and the haiku at the end is stunning: love it’ pleasure reading this poem: sending you light always
