through the darkest hour
every tree top in the forest
adorned with a star (Ese)
the earth quaked in sorrow
man had crucified God’s Son
Good Friday is a day that the earth mourns the death of bright hope. This supreme sacrifice was intended to set the prisoners free from the shackles of sin. And so we celebrate with misty tears the dark day when Love died.
This tan renga/ haibun for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai built off Ese’s of Esengasvoice haiku
