It's an absolute nonsense in the name of haiku. A haiku contains 17 syllables while it has only 7. The structure is not correct. I'm surprised at the wit of people how it got 31 votes and also occupied a place in top 500 poems. It should be removed at once.
the spirit of mysticism quest the logic of reason...its great and satisfying to
ponder of what is the meaning of illusion...God bless...a 10 +++
Why grovel, when the greatest gifts of life are freely given from above, just accept them as they come to you.

Very true...the taste of rain...How it makes you feel...
