An interesting ku with intertextual metaphor. The haiku reveals an imagistic fusion of romance with science.
withered flowers
I gather with love and care
closing my eyes
in the garden of memories
I dream the greatness of living

We discover
The agile ray of radiance,
Playfully closing our eyes.
Perhaps darkness
Emits new streak of beam,
In the world
Of our divine dream.
