On raven’s wing
O’er sea of tranquility
Flight of her spirit
∴∴∴
A departed soul
Ascends with flaming sunrise
Dewdrops dry swiftly

Just visited Poe’s home where the raven pecks away at the upstairs window even when there is no breeze. Very nice ascension…

Oh, so beautiful! Coincidentally, dragonfly is the symbol my late husband and I chose before his departure, as a signal for when he would be near in spirit. He has used it a number of times!

Oh, I am saying coincidentally – but of course that is your blog title, not a title for these particular haiku. Still, it certainly touched a chord for me in relation to this topic.

I understood what you meant 😉 — dragonfly is a wonderful sign to know your husband’s near!
