I like the contrast you've created between a mountain and a tunnel. The way you've used words instead of syllables for the haiku structure is something I feel inspired to try 😊

Your comment is outstanding and encouraging, IE. I appreciate the visit. We are in dog days of summer here with some afternoon showers or thunderstorms, high humidity, and some very warm, sticky days. God is good though through it all. Thanks for the visit. Sara K. 👍

Kim, I believe if we are born again that God will give us answers if we ask for them. I totally agree with you. I think what you have said has given me the answer that I need for the situation I find myself in. Thank you for stopping by. Sara K. 👍

Ah yes! A tunnel through the mountains.. when even unfathomable and unclimbable heights can be conjured by just changing the perspective! This opens the way for so many interpretations dear Sara.. very interesting the form as well! Collum lune..yes I've heard of it! You've wonderfully knitted everything! Sending you light and love always dear Sara ~ Hugggssszz 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️💫💫💜💜

Now this is easier to do. Words not syllables. Reminds me of "Going on a bear hunt" ❤️
