Haikus to the souls

My sister, who is very nice, took on such a weird task as translating my "Haikus to the souls" from Catalan into English. As I got so happy with the results, which are so close in form and sense to the original intention, I publish them here on a post of their own: 


#1

Breath within the silence,
and sun among the mist: 
life and death. 


#2 

Remembrances,
like migratory birds: 
dwelling in the past. 


#3 

At the propitious time,
offerings take place: 
incense and rain.
