#Haiku Happenings #3: Jules’ latest reverse #haibun for my current #haikai challenge!

riches grace lofty
simple-esque whispers between
all sleeping promises

every fortune a moonlight
following wild places

H’umami?

Where was the promised umami, the balance of all things? The Enchantress felt moyuru – a smoldering heat rising from the base of her spine and ready to explode every chakra on the way to her forehead. Perhaps it was her Ignormarte spell that had set her out of kilter? The fae Tupelo who ran The Smoldering Lotus was supposed to be one of her guides. All he had given her was a sealed wooden box and said “figure out how to open it.” and refused to say more. Was it fear holding her back? Her own truth that she didn’t want to see…

Perhaps it was time to come up with her own mantra. She had been using a pre-made one from a book, but that hadn’t worked to save her from the Great Imbalance – so she had run away. Maybe the Ignormarte had it right; “Find humor and allow all healing to flow.”
