Haibun Mother

in the woods getting lost is a bliss,tall trees like mothers welcome me in their scoops, giving off comfort in my waning sense of insecurity,shrubs give tiny berries cool like candy under the blazing sun,to soothe avid soul; on arrival there's an all-pervading tranquility, the wonderful sagacity of nature,smell of petrichor earth, brings forth mother's breastfeeding, the sauce of my upbringing,as time passes on evening sets in, under the placid moon i discover the footprints of my life....

                                          a creaky night-bird 
                                   roves the canvas sky in woods
                                       paints my mother's face

No kigo and the use of metaphors in the in you modern haiku belied the beauty of your prose, hence a second place, congratulations Rajat, and many thanks for participating, Mick
