Children, darkness waits.
Shall we brush away the light
with a wisp of grass?

    What exquisite words, like a koan, to accompany this simple (or very complex) photo. I’m breathless. I love it.

      Oh, excellent! I’m glad that the photo and haiku affected you so deeply. Breathlessness is to be desired at times! 🙂

      Thank you!

    Indeed, this feels like a broom. a great metaphor to brush away the preconceived notions in our minds, to imagine what we think we see may become something different. This is not just a mere blade of grass…

    The photo captures an intimate sense of wispy, natural elegance! And the haiku softly sings mystical beauty!

    Simple is often best. Lovely photo and haiku.

    I think one would want to brush away the darkness, rather than the light. But that’s just me.
