Elation Vibrations

In my eighteenth season, strangers used brotherhood as decorative
ribbons to gift me a feel and a truth that have stayed my life long.  At a nature adorned ranch flowed a celebratory wedding reception upon soft 
green field carpets so lush that they matched the gentle generosity of 
my host's acceptance.  I was a welcomed wanderer, a presence made 
to feel I belonged and was valued.  Old, wizen oak and willow trees 
provided a poetic, scenic border for the velvet ground and shaded the
serene river on the other side of their mighty and graceful tree limbs. 
It was Fall, of course it was Fall, the season of lusciousness and breezes 
that render promising tickles upon titillated flesh.  As music flowed, love 
in sincere smiles became hand-to-hand holding, loose swaying arms, and uninhibited kicks from dancing legs all moving carefree bodies in a spontaneous, jubilant circle of dance.  In a flash-know, I felt harmonious sensations empower all to unite in the spiritual perfection from which 
we had come and would, in time, return as brothers and sisters gone home.

Vibrating elations brightened the sun’s own light and dissolved all human egos’ need-feel to be acknowledged as right. I knew none of the faces, yet I knew them all, just as they knew me because a mutual dance feel took us all inside core truth; all were one in the same from the same one of perfect love. Such knowing elated my dance with soul-intoxication. The air continued piping in rock’s most poignant lyrics sung by genuine, emotive voices that grabbed us all while drums beat as one with our hearts until our pulses ignited, and guitars glided on soared, radiating nirvana highs through our inside-otherness. These sensations all led me to know what I still know, dancing that unexpected afternoon was more important in establishing my life’s philosophical purpose than many of the priorities I had been taught were paramount to living a successful life.

Gosh. I see I had read this but my bad memory does not recall it! It's really a beautiful example of your writing with emotion and creativity . I hope you score with this if it is entered in a marathon contest. The haiku are good too, Caycay. Love the Nirvana buzzing.

Again the prose I could not fault. However, what you classified as haiku contained no kigo and had it not been for your perfect prose your haibun would of been N/A'ed. My most gracious thanks for participating, look forward to your continued support, with respect, Mick
