This is very beautiful.
The first two lines create a wonderful image. It is lovely when this happens, the sunlight through the branches and the leaves, it quite stunning.
Your satori is wonderful. The life in the forest, "majestic new life" often deer, moose are often referred to as majestic.

Beautiful imagery in this one, my friend. This flows well through the first two lines and the satori is a great moment of insight. Well done

Hello,
I like your haiku. My favorite part was the second line. It creates an image with the photo as help, but I can visualize, also.
I love trees!

This haiku, Diffused Light, uses sixteen syllables to create the image of a new day trickling through the dense timber and lifting spirits.

This is a very well composed, lovely haiku, Ulla.
Lines one and two show a distinct grammatical connection and concrete imagery.
At just sixteen syllables, your haiku is well within the seventeen syllables or less required by haiku poetry.
It is written in present tense--as a moment in nature, captured in time.
Your kigo, or seasonal reference, is green canopy (aota, late summer).
Last but not least, your satori is an excellent observation of the phrase, or two lines, which come before it.
Well done!

NICE SATORI INDICATING THE INTERCONNECTIONS OF LIFE--THE SUN STREAMS THROUGH AND NOURISHES NEW LIFE. LOVELY DESCRIPTIVE TONE AND IMAGERY WITH FINE WORD ECONOMY TOO. oops- caps lock. Sorry, did not meant to shout!

Love the sounds of S read aloud in all lines. Nice consonance of F and alliteration of L as well.

Love,
rd
