that Last line has such an impact. It gives my the feeling of a long spiritual struggle that has ended in victory. with the justification of that victory in the celebtraion with thanks in prayer. Beautiful.

Hi Tahera I REALLY like you doing verse on this holy day! Please consider, you have plenty time to "tweak" 1) you arenot reading the rules dear friend 2) this is reading very much like free verse put into a 5/7/5 formate, #3 and most important to me WE (which very much includes me) are trying to learn how to convey more with less, to bring an emotion to the reader, so, a chain haiku is not appropriate. Your 3rd verse is the most haiku like for me. Light & Love your friend
