my retinas

  1. 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.
