his soul is back -
a huge butterfly sips
grandfather's sake
I poured a small cup for the former owner of our home,
The large black and white butterfly
kept me company for more than an hour !

An excellent haiku, Gabi! Very evocative. It almost makes me believe in the transmigration of the soul.

And this large butterfly was hanging around me for more than an hour, quite unbelievable !

Oh Gabi san
The feeling I received from your haiku was as if my spirit flew to
the cup!! This is a very dear haiku to me for that.
May grandfather drink deeply! His flight will zig-zag joyfully.

O-autumn butterfly!
