    Sun above the sun. Interesting. The use of the words Alpha and Omega are fitting here. The sun was also the son, over all the spectrum.

    Lovely idea ...

    but I don't see how there could be a sun above the sun. I'd have gone with something like "cloud filtered sunlight" and then on to the next line.

    I've nothing else to add, the others have already said all there is to say and in far more skilled ways than I could. I will just toss in my applause and get out of your way.

    This senryu

    attempts to transcend, through imnages, the world of the senses through the senses. This is a poem that must be returned to over and over.
    The word "conceived" works both procreatively and intellectually in appreciation of meaning.
    "Light above knowable light" is a rough translation of line one.
    The Greek letters of beginning and end are an understanding of God.
    The Laws of Physics, obeying God's physical universe [spectrum and rainbow], are but a gesture towards the reality of all things.
    Praise God from whom all blessings flow but praise Him for His omniscient Mind and realities we can, at best, glimpse.
    Thank you very much indeed.

      "The Laws of Physics, obeying God's physical universe [spectrum and rainbow], are but a gesture towards the reality of all things."

      Ron, You say what I wish to understand. There must be a spiritual substance behind every idea in the universe that is uncompromised by material limitations. That light gives us so much more than we seem to accept!

      I love that you leave me with a directive for praise.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. ~ K

      Mari, Sun above the rain, above the sun, the everpresent light of love and revelation... I've never seen a rainbow from the air, but I'm told they are actually circles. Hugs to you! ~Karen

    Big smile

    We have a dim understanding based on what we already know, but there is more. You point toward it very beautifully.

      Hello Margaret. ....and then there is ONE who knows all, is all good, expresses it in Spiritual reflection, not brain, but infinite intelligence upon which to draw. Big smile to you, too. Karen

    an amazing haiku/senryu revealing transcendental truth and unconceivable dimensions yet to be unfolded through repetitive reading and soaking in of this mantra-like verse ...

      Good morning, Marion! I had a very difficult time with my computer this morning. It posted this poem four times, and I wanted to add a background, but could not. I was looking at one of your poems when this one came.
