I like the move from the smoke of burning bridges to the future rising like dark storm clouds, and the contrast pf 'long winters of sadness' and 'springs and waterfalls to discover', which then reappear in the tanka for your 'leap of faith'.

That is consistently my favorite part of the haibun: the last sentence of the paragraph, the segue from the prose into the haiku/tanka. It typically contains some sort of little twist that really hooks me.✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.com
