Nette Onclaud Poet Haibun

Notes About The Poem

Ink Empress' Love Or Pain Contest Written 24 October 24

Colors of Love

When the sparrow meets the long nights 
webbed in the gentleness
 of every beat that marks your heart; 
only then will we find a faraway world coming together 
as graceful leaves mix 
with the branches of our souls;
 for the length of time is never kind though precious-- 
our testament to be one
connects us through serendipitous pulses :
We may not be together, 
yet we feel the same rain ,
same tears, and language unbidden. ..
Is this what long distance love is
 made of? 

 We bind the folds of seasons
 and still know how we live
 in any moment of an eon-- 
a love made in a place called heaven's fate,
 staying in touch
 through deep intuition and prayer -
that we forego season's ticks, sometimes...

 A hundred years may pass,
 yet we know, this love infinite will bind the hues
of devotion 's thread,  stronger than
the fabric of time's test.

palette of seasons
changes from neutral to bold
surpassed by love's strokes

It gracefully captures the transcendent nature of long-distance love, where souls remain deeply connected despite the barriers of time and space. Through vivid imagery , it celebrates a love so profound that it outlasts the fabric of time, becoming an infinite testament to unshakable unity. Congratulations! ^___^ JCB

Daniel Henry Rodgers October 24, 2024 at 8:23 AM Dear Nette, What a wonderful poem of Love and all that connects us. Like Hiya's comment I picked out this verse also "our testament to be one connects us through serendipitous pulses". Yes, our creator and infinite God loves and watches over us. So well-inked! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Hiya Sharma October 24, 2024 at 7:02 AM Gosh, what a deeply soul stirring haibun this is! How beautifully you've described the intricacies of a long distance connection and how it can prove to a love, occuring once in a thousand years ~ where there is true love, the intuition and fate all combine while aiding to a blissful feeling of together. Our souls know it all, without even conversing a word! "as graceful leaves mix with the branches of our souls" This is actually so profound and delicate! "our testament to be one connects us through serendipitous pulses" Wowww! I think Ink Empress will absolutely adore this haibun... Best wishes for the contest. Sending you light always ~ this is a FAVE
