That the dreams of such children can come true--heaven here.
A very touching image.
Poignant and touching.
So poignant...
playing for pleasing the moon
And please do visit Poetry Train being run each Monday!
I like the Rumi-tint to this haiku - melancholy truth.
This is a very heart-full verse; difficult but not without hope. Thank you.
Edward, this brings to mind a 'make a wish' child and how he/she must feel upon returning to the hospital.
Thank you.
..
One way or another---free!
Wonderful haiku!
Edward, this poem does have a mystical quality to it; nicely woven with hope and despair.
..what does one say here-that i like this poem-that it's beautiful-that the pain gets across..don't know..thanks for sharing it..and wish u .. a very happy new year!..
Thank God for dreams. A good one, Edward.
Your haiku touches my heart. Cancer and children is such a painful image but to imagine their dreams and stardust makes it easier.
Hi Edward--
...but since stardust is our basic matter, this is a comforting image...returning to the source.
many thanks--lovely.
Reality with compassion and hope.
(I'm an artist/writer who uses my art for healing. It's in hospitals, including cancer areas.)
