Book, chapter and verse,
Some quote it impressively.
Do they live the Word?
Do they live the Word?
Shakespeare, Thoreau, Emerson…
Truth from any source.
Truth from any source!
Religions choose just a few;
Some leave out the heart.
Some leave out the heart,
But it’s all we really have
To discern the truth!

I like the rhythm that happens when you chin together the different haiku verses by moving the final line of one haiku, into the first line of the next one. It is like a waving coming into the shoreline – moving along smoothly, softly, naturally.
Thank you, Lynda. I recently discovered this form through a challenge, and I enjoy writing it.
