Resurrected Flames

During a solitary December blizzard in a Himalayan monastery-- a storyteller's humming enchants me. A distant moonlit snowflake blazes melodious stories, with no listeners, sprinkling rhythms in universe only for pilgrims seeking them. Faith lights up my immortal muse. Under gleaming snow flames of my muse resurrect; survive life's blizzards ~~A memoir from my journey May 31, 2020 Rhymes And Reasons Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier ~Winner: Honorable Mention

What a journey. I remember the Himalayan mountains well. Their majestic ring above the clouds, encircling Kathmandu. A holy place indeed. Beautiful haibun Aditi.

Beautiful imagery in your story section flowing like a poem. The juxtaposition of fire and ice, "snowflake blazes," throughout really makes this haibun vivid! Lovely storytelling - lovely haiku. Good luck in the contest.
