Carpe Diem "Make the Haiku Complete" #4, "rising up to heaven?"

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

It's my pleasure to share with you all a new episode of Carpe Diem Make the haiku complete. This new episode will be a bit different than the other episodes of this feature. In those episodes we had to complete the haiku by writing the last line, but in this episode ... I love to challenge you all to complete the haiku by writing the first line of it.
It's a wellknown haiku by one of the classical haiku-masters and the only thing I will give you here is the scene on which the haiku was inspired.

[...] The moon is hazy, and the faint sweet scent of the plum blossoms rises up towards it. The halo of the moon is to the eye what the scent of the blossoms is to the sense of smell; the whiteness of the flowers and that of the halo reflect each other, and are one in that faint sweet perfume [...]

 

And here it is ... the haiku to complete by writing the first line.

 

.................................................
is it not the scent of plum-blossoms
rising up to heaven?

Of course this isn't  easy, but it's worth a try and so here is my attempt to complete this haiku.

mysterious full moon,
is it not the scent of plum-blossoms
rising up to heaven?

Hm ... not that strong I think, but I think it was worth the effort to try and share it with you all here at our haiku-community.

This episode of Carpe Diem Make The Haiku Complete will stay on until December 24th 11.59 AM (CET) and is NOW OPEN for your submissions.
