This is a great achievement to create such an interesting piece of strung together words for the world to see. Well done. Your collection of poems astounds me. : )
-
Thank you!
A mind which can see/find truth in the ordinary is how I would infer that.

I'm of the thought that the ordinary mind is what grasps truth.
"To study Buddhism is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things. To be enlightened by all things is to drop off our own body and mind and to drop off the minds and bodies of others. No trace of enlightenment remains and this no-trace continues endlessly."
- Dogen
"Unformed people delight in the gaudy and in novelty. Cooked people delight in the ordinary."
- Zen saying
enjoyed reading

This haiku is very nice too! I hae written some poems in haiku form, although not usually about nature, using the 5-7-5 format. I think using even fewer syllable is more challenging to be able to get the message across! You got your message across beautifully!

Golden and violet blue is one Mystic Truth
This colour beats freely and marches one within me.
Simply elegant you stopped time within your mystic rhythm rhyme.

Bingo! Thank you Uwe! The ultimate result, of course. I'd like
to quote yours in my author's comments, it's perfect!
('Apophatic', great word.
)

Thank you, Melinda! I will certainly consider it, but it's up to my muse. If I can come up with two more to follow, I'll put them in series as you suggested.

Gennelle,
Could you not write two more related haiku, add them to the two you already have and present them as a series? Please do not withdraw entirely-- these are so good!
Consider it, won't you? Please?
Melinda -
Thank you Queen! Actually, I'm not in the contest. I put this and the other one in by mistake when I was too sleepy to realize there was a rule of 12 lines minimum. They still appear on the list, but not as entries.

Thank you Dee! Yes, as I said to Margaret, this resonates with those who Know. But oneness is a goal for all; the more we 'merge' and empathize with others, the more we understand each other - which leads to Love and Truth.
This is actually a companion piece to the other I have the link to in my author's comments, 'Mirror' allpoetry.com/poem/845384
(By the way, is the main text clear enough on this page, or does it need to be darker?)

This is an excllent haiku Gennelle!
So much said in six words, amazing!
Kisses and love,

And that Truth is very clearly stated here, but I would guess, mostly for those whose minds already have tendencies in mystical directions. Would it also lead others into finding such truth? Glad to find it here. --Dee

Very cool haiku, there is so much more to the universe than we know. Good luck in the contest Queen
-
Thank you, Cindy! When all minds merge into oneness, then all see all truths.
~ G
-
One` being a particular truth,
although millions of truths out there
in the universe and here on earth.
Nice haiku.
Cindy

We write to validate those who See too, for solidarity. Too easy to doubt ourselves without confirmation.
~ G

Well said
Yes, we don't need to tell those who know, the others have to see first. Makes me wonder why we write at all!
