Heaven

Sky looks, at this eventide, like an ocean of rainbows. Has the almighty sprinkled his bright-dark contract of his sum aggregation of the entirety of everything and caboodle of his wholeness thickly on this evening canvas? Birds fly beneath the skies like black jets with red-moon shine. Are dust and broken pieces of the heavenly rainbows spread over hills and valleys? Grass clusters and meadows of multiple bouquet blossoms seem to say amen to the almighty moving and dwelling within the gentle breeze that carries him over mountains, seas, and oceans. Herders walk their herds back to their byres and feed them with fodder and quench their thirst with feed-mixed tonic water. Cocks and hens have entered their coops and have started closing their eyes as though in Zen meditation. Hustles and bustles of the huts and corteges rise and fall like low and high pitches of harmonious concerts and slowly come to an end as kids start dosing their eyes and stop crying. With my close-knit small family, I relish and nourish the simple supper prepared by million hands from the east, west, north, and south of my nation and brought to my table by the agape-filled affection of my family bond. My heart enters in its inner shrines of conscience and consciousness and gently unites with the eternal spirit dwelling therein and lay on the laps of lady night with a loving lullaby of Pasithea, Huina, Nyx, and Nidra Devi, the goddesses of sleep. cherubim movements spirits, saints, and angels sail peace in pinnacle

Dear Christuraj, my imagination and emotions were enraptured by your rustic imagery and rich metaphors. I especially enjoyed "Are dust and broken pieces of the heavenly rainbows spread over hills and valleys?" -and beautiful musings then followed. "Cocks and hens have entered their coops and have started closing their eyes as though in Zen meditation" -such a striking visual of peace in twilight. Congratulations for your success in Tom's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

A compelling magnum opus of extraordinary detail and equally magnificent lines. Apt imagery, inspiring narrative and riverlike flow. Well done, Christuraj Howard

Gosh, what can I say except this was exceptional Chris, especially the haiku, which may be closer to a senryu but was nevertheless outstanding.

Dear christuraj, I absolutely love the opening! “ ocean of rainbows “ and so many phrases used here to paint imagery, in such an artistic manner! Absolutely gorgeous! Your way with weaving this haibun is truly captivating and the haiku at the end is exquisite too, “ peace in pinnacle” that line stood out for me along with the subtle use of alliterations! I bet this will do well in toms contest, best wishes. Sending you light always.
