Pearl-Prayer

Congratulations on your winning work in Andrea's contest. Way to go. I enjoyed reading your lines. Sara K

This is amazing poetry - I can't stop reading it. I was glad that I read Duke's comment below as it added to the enjoyment of this lovely sijo. Congratulations on your win, Hiya. I have FAVed it.

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.

This is beautiful and magical. So much said in a few lines... you always say something. :)

Your poem is beyond beautiful, my friend. I adore the exquisite imagery. This is a fave. I hope your week is wonderful.

Oh!! He hears us loud and clear. If we don't pray, the silence echoes. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Sara K

Dear Hiya, your words are beyond beautiful. I'm embracing this thought: Prayers are like a string of pearls. The image is elegant, graceful, and so uplifting. 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
