What concord we see
In the Earth and the ocean,
Sleeping in embrace

I was re-reading William Blake's 'Marriage of Heaven and Hell' where he writes one of my favourite lines in all literature - 'Without contraries is no progression'.. Here is something that is (if not entirely) contradictory and yet in 'concord' - the earth and the sea (water) - two of the five elements are seen in agreement to live peacefully, and thus there is a harmony. If this agreement is broken, then the water can hit the earth and break it. Maybe it is about human beings and the contradictory virtues we have - let us take something like good and evil - there is no denying that both exist in us all, but as long there is a right concord between them, there is harmony, once that is broken, we lose our peace of mind. Beautiful haiku Valsa ma'am. Thorougholy enjoyable :)

Earth and ocean brought together in harmony in a sleeping embrace, both of one accord, allowing each to be what they are, a melody, a symphony, of peaceful acceptance. Lovely Haiku, Valsa. Love it! 10+ Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

If only humans could synchronise themselves more often to the heart-beat of Nature, and feel how harmonious every thing, and every creature lives on this planet, we would probably have less psychological problems, and no war at all. This is a wonderful haiku!

The ocean caress the earth with soothing waves, and they sleep in an embrace. This haiku brought a sense of peacefulness to me even before I reach the last line. Simply brilliant. Thanks Valsa

The earth and ocean never meet, but when modelling for the artists, they show a beautiful harmony. And when a poet sees them embracing, he is inspired and he is amazing. Could I convince the fighting enemies, show harmony for the sake of your children, the lovely artists and poets of the future.
