Clouds of illusion, towers of dream. I'm not sure you can use the word heaven, a subjective word if ever there was one, without bringing this up. Even its etymology is up for grabs.

I must have come across a different version...and I'm glad for yours as it gives it more strength and in much more character to Issa. I had wondered about that when I had come across the other vesion...it seemed so out of character for him. I'm glad to have that...and thanks for reminding me to check haikuguy David Lanoue's web.

I'm not even sure I'm remembering it correctly but it made an impression on me years ago. This haiku in front of us says something very different. I love it. I love the way he used the word "clouds" to clothe the changing nature of existance in a thing. Who was it, Issa, who said something like this: between heaven and hell there are flowers…?
