Brilliant analysis... Thanks for the visit and kind words, Daniel...

Ed I could so easily apply this deep message to myself..

excellent..

love Brenda

Thanks you, Brenda. Always a pleasure...

What an astonishing observation, Ed.  It so aptly applies to human nature as well.

The intent was to align with human nature. Letting go when we have to and face the tough times when we must... thanks...

A wise message here Ed, maybe if some didn't cling onto the shade for so long, they would find what else is waiting.  Great work.

Thanks for your keen observation, kind words, and visit, Anita...  :)

Ed...what an impassioned Haiku
I am taking away the idea that we must release the idea of what we imagine we are supposed to be so we can be who we actually are...despite winter struggles... ?  Nonetheless, I feel wiser from your words.
Thanks for sharing

It could be read that way, but my contention was sometimes we have to let things go even though we don't want to... Thanks so much for your kind words and read... -ed

I'm a huge fan of nature writes particularly Haiku's when they're a metaphor for life, this is a wonderfully penned piece that Komachi would've loved.

Awesome.
