see the sun in me
shining over the land and sea
as we jump into the river of life
and we breathe in the scent
of flowers and soil after the rain

Author Notes
Haiku, and other Japanese poetry, originated in Zen philosophy. A Zen concept is 'interbeing' - everything in nature and human beings are connected, thus 'the sun in me'.
Inspired by Buddhist Monk, Thich Nhat Hanh's poetry
Gogyohka is a five-line Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. You may use any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay. It usually doesn't rhyme, but natural not forced rhymes are okay. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe.
