Belonging: One Deep Breath
I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine
We fit together, two and one
Adventure-sharers
beloved
darling
mine
yours
*****
Does the falling leaf
nestle among its fellows
sighing in relief?

Some questions, like this one, must have a voice! Thank you.
Great!
These are completely beautiful haiku!! The first one is deeply romantic and speaks to me of hearts joined forever. And the second one is really sweet -- I can totally imagine the leaf happy to be with its friends again.
:)
the first is a beautiful leap from a classic...so lovely! & the second made me think immediately of death~~ in a very positive sort of way. it speaks to me of a solitary thing that ends in belonging with beauty beyond what we may imagine!
Thank you all.
That particular bit from the Song of Songs has a very deep meaning for me - it was part of my wedding, what my husband and I said as we exchanged rings. We repeated it both in English and in Hebrew "Ani l'dodi, v'dodi li."
The thought of those leaves nestling together is quite lovely. I'll think it is so.
I do love that second one very dearly.
