Immanent Yet Transcendent

In interludes of self-reflection, whether in the state of consciousness or meditative, I accept that I am an immanent being, layered with imperfections. I am human. I make mistakes, but to live my life instilled with fear and without love would not be living.

my concept of life... acceptance of immanence I am not divine
I am not destined for permanence in this world. Through death, I will leave a void to be filled. Seekers of truth, open your inner sight and allow it to lead you towards enlightenment. Sing a melody during life's journey and set your spirit free. Sing a song, a symphony, to help you find your way. It's a cosmic affair, so bare your soul and find the bliss that awaits you there.
human souls reside but for a moment on earth waves on an ebb tide
Most will not live eternally; we are not the transcendent kind. There is only One who lives to reign, and we dare not disdain His right to claim the throne. God is transcendent and there will never be an amendment to that in this manifested world. He will not be dethroned by word or deed by some malcontented human having the need for a coup. Those who would dare cast shadows on His name have no respect for divinity.
God reigns o'er the world do not query or doubt His supernal glory

Lin, your Haibun is a beautiful masterpiece that captivates the mind and touches the soul. The intricate structure of your writing, coupled with your profound insights, leaves me in awe. It is a reminder that none of us can truly escape the limitations of our physical existence. Your win is well-deserved, and I applaud you for your exceptional talent.
