Radiant sky bright
Bursting with heavenly light
As my soul takes flight
*******************************
I hope this is what I may see as I take my last breath. I was going to use ascends instead of takes flight, but flight feels freeing.

Uplifting stuff!
I also prefer the feel of takes flight!! Great call there Jason!! Beautiful haiku!! You really are quite the poet!!
brilliant, love your poems
Wow, this is so powerful!
So, so beautiful! I hope to have a similar last breath- and such radiant experiences before then!
Wow, your poem successfully compliments that amazing photo. The type of image I can look at for hours!
Gorgeous! Love use of rhyme and bright imagery!
well done
That would certainly be a memorable way to go. And I like your choice of "takes flight" over "ascends." Awesome entry, Jason!
Oh I hope so too.
But that photo seems so ominous. Why would you wanna see that as you take your last breath? Loved your Haiku!
Beautiful, Jason! Definitely a unique take on the challenge!
I like take flight my self.
One of my favorite old hymns!
So gorgeous—I hope for this, too.
Beautiful haiku... the image fits it so well too. I agree... what a wonderful way 'to leave town'!
Gorgeous!!
"Takes flight" creates a beautiful visual in my mind.
That’s how I think of it as well. Great verse, Jason!
Beautiful words, and a beautiful picture to match.
