An Indian Spring

Living through long winter of northern India with nostalgic feelings of grace, peace, and comfort; traveling around to places where one could breathe a sigh of relief - ‘God’s own country’, Churches, temples, grave-yards, crematoriums - all imparting feelings as silent as silence itself and thus putting strength and vigor into an energy-drained-out body and mind until the spring creeps in and one reaches and wakes to the jubilations of flowers, birds and the whole of the Mother-Nature.

To truly meet and greet, one has to read the others first posting. This one does. You came to soup the season of my absence, maybe not exact date, but close enough that I probably never read you. I enjoyed this, emotion/feel was delivered, the haiku unique/striking. I can see the love of writing wanting to be in Soup's environment, to know and grow all your pen can be, as more than likely urged by a prompting from within.
