Snow (haiku)

by Hatori   Jun 14, 2007


Snowflakes softly fall,
As white as a flying dove,
Winter re-awakes.

    Blossoms evermore
    Swallowed by the heart of dark
    Form unrecognized

    Hmm, first haiku I've tried in here.
    It made me think of how even in the depths of sorrow, there is still the hint, if only a memory, of the joy in life. Even if the tempest rages more fiercely as a result, it sows a seed for spring to follow.
    Beautiful haiku.
    Let the Force hang loose
