Pearl-Prayer

When harlequin herbs bask in jeweled forests, do you hear me? ferrying upon pearl-prayers, seeking warmth in doe's walnut eyes, I'm the last of seven souls ~ before heaven's hyacinth gates.

Beautiful words. I don't know anything about the seven souls, but this touches the spirit. Congrats for your win.

You are very spiritual. I had to look up the 7 souls and found that Khat was the body. It also refers to different aspects of a person's soul. So this makes me wonder about different parts of a person in a variety of situations. Funny that I was watching Everything Everywhere all at Once last evening. Funny that I consider myself a rational person, yet I know there are some amazing aspects to the mind and universe that defy explanation. I am so glad that you are making me think about this realm.

You have such a wonderful heart, my dear sweet friend. You're able to express so many emotions from within, with your talented pen. Thank you for being here, for being you. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

A very deep and intriguing sijo this is truly, its like one of those that readers would need to not just use their eyes but their mind to picture and grasp the details of what youv painted here in such an enchanting manner! I love the way you’ve questioned and also the clever way youv paired words together is beyond impeccable! I especially love “ heavens hyacinth gates” “ pearl prayers” “ harlequin herbs” exquisite alliterations! So creative and artistic as always! Im sure this will score high
