willow sways in summer breeze

I've added the notes and have totally revised my piece to, hopefully, complement Ulla's haiku a little more. I have certainly enjoyed being a part of this project and will enjoy watching how it evolves in the coming weeks. thank you for introducing us to Renga. It's been a great learning experience.

Thank you very much, June. You are helping me move it along and doing a great job.

Oh, everything about this post is pretty. The picture is so eye appealing and your words are uplifting. Out of darkness comes hope. We will sprout wings to follow dreams. What a romantic image.
This one just made me feel good. Thank you.

So glad you enjoyed this - always nice to hear from you!
Comment from Cindy Decker
June,
Your poem can mean so many things: cocoon of darkness can mean despair, or even a life without God, or without knowledge. Once we have hope, we can follow our dreams, or God to happiness and enlightenment. The photo is beautiful. Excellent work.
Blessings,
Cindy

This was absolutely stunning. A gorgeous artistic presentation, picture and font. You packed volumes in these two lines, and they still stand up in my mind. What amazing visuals:
