I Quote, You 'Ku - Day 9

“When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found.”

~Sufi saying

Your challenge is to write a haiku or tanka (or choose one of your previously published works) that has a connection with the themes/feelings/images of the above quote, without just restating what has appeared in the text, to create a haibun. Play around with it and see what you come up with. Enjoy!
