I find this especially poignant with the pandemic weighing upon us and the woes of racial strife and an election gone a-kilter. Much strife indeed...but alas, we carry on and pray this too shall pass!--Karenina

No tears are wasted with Mother Nature (just rain, which is nourishing... but tears are as well, but perhaps more healing). I will add to this but will have to do so at a later date as I've done two already today. :)

Hola Marival. Yes, that is so true life does indeed goes on regardless of what happens to us. There's nothing to stop the clock ticking away. I loved your haiku and I'm thinking about adding another chapter. Un abrazo. Ulla:)))

A very well-written 5-7-5 addition to the multi-author Renga book about the perfect example of the cirtclev of life that we can find in nature everywhere.

Typo
regardless of strife(l).

Thank you very much, Sandra... I don't know what happened. I changed it.

So true, Gypsy. The universe is a series of ever expanding cycles and circles and even that goes with with nature and love.

Always a pleasure to read and review another fine haiku. :)

Gypsy,

Another wonderful addition to this collaborative effort. Especially enjoy the following words:
strife
nature reigns
and the entire last line!

Very nice!!

I think you're right, nature in general doesn't co-exist with man very well at all, but if man wasn't here, or at least limited with this pandemic, nature will win, or at least, God will, well done Gypsy, blessings, Roy

You posted some stunning and uplifting poems today!
I LOVE the satori line of this poem! Yes, nature prevails and if we look at it with pure, innocent eye, we can see the divine love in this cycle!

Thank you for sharing!

So true - life is so full of strivings but we can look from God's perspective for Whom, Love is the measure and we can see it best in Nature. Lovely philosophical haiku.

Gypsy--
This one does not do it for me. Why "regardless (all) strife?" Why not "of" strife? And I'm not quite sure how "life goes on and nature reigns" adds up to "divine love cycle?" either. Maybe I like your "dark" side better?

Thanks
Wabigoon/Jeff

Thank you, Jeff, you are right, 'of' sounds better. I appreciate your time and helpful review.
