Magpie Tales 133...Choices

 
Summer Night, 1913, by Albert Bloch

Ethereal wraiths:
Hesitation is the trap
Of the spirit realm
 
Diaphanous shades:
Listen to the soul voices
Comprehend the words
 
Shadow phantasms:
Gossamer paths lead the way
Choose your destiny


************************************************
 
 
I thought this was a most intriguing painting for Magpie Tales 133 this week.  I decided to do a triple haiku...mainly because I couldn't decide between the three, and in the end they seemed to belong together anyway.

  1. i think they go well together....an interesting thought in the last that we would be able to choose the path after death...

  6. I so love the ethereal descriptions you've included here, with diaphanous shades, gossamer paths and shadow phantasms. Such a thin vale of life, Terlee. Thank you for sharing your shadowy haikus. =D
