Awards
Winner gets:

Feel free to reuse a haiku from the past and write as many as you want!

Now we only move,
the mountain of wishes with
faith in tomorrow.

Hello there, buddy!
Here is my entry:
Sun, at night you hide
Then, I'm scared but sure am I
again you will rise
Walking in darkness
There is no light l could see
With faith I find way
Posted using Partiko Android
Closely held in heart
and head, belief in 'I AM'.
Above, as below.
Do your best you can do
and the god will take care
the rest!
Wedding bells ringing

Till death do we part

¡Hola! Por aquí dejo mi participación:

Versión en español:
Un árbol en flor
se llena de promesas.
Un salto de fe.

There's a tree in bloom
It is full of promises.
It's a leap of faith.
A wise old spirit
Walking through infinity

Walk along the path
Towards uncertainty, but

Faith (The Birth Of A Child)
June 6th, Year '04
Faith is what I had endured
As My Child Was Born
By @rentmoney
Faith I have in spades.
Religion, no. Not so much.
Faith over dogma.

Llamas fugaces
claman a la esperanza...
restos de humo.
Fleeting flames
cry out for hope...
smoke remnants.

Another :)
Can we both believe
In one idea differently?
Perspective matters.
Walk without knowing...
Focused and Immovable...
Seeing the unseen...

Hi. Here's my entry.

hands fold together
under a rain beaded sky -
a white feather grows
I'm back! Great prompt!
Faith, comfort to some
Malignant when used for hate
I believe in love

Faith is a dreamer
The version known as blind faith
Is a trap for fools

I have another!
There are people who have faith in tangible things
dark, the night becomes
Nineteen keep me company
fear no more in me
Goodbye zombies!

The new gods are very small
But with faith they grow
