It's something to think about. It's a really good haiku though, 3 sentences of awesomeness.

Interesting question. Perhaps you should expand on this koan. When you are sleeping, who tends your soul? Who is goading your dreams into action? Who directs your heart and breath? If you float away, will you ever come back? I envision this could be a series of haikus. The think I think all great haikus have in common is a kind of koan at their heart. This certainly fulfills that necessity, but I feel you could expand on it.

I like the idea of your soul floating
I though I might try a haiku too, after reading yours.
