Yes, ALS took mine first too. The horizon becomes clearer your perspective. Thank you.
I thought of my mother and her brother. Excellent haiku. Thank you and blessings.
Very moving and heartfelt felt with a powerful and "simple" image.
Wonderful, powerful, near perfect simplicity. Maybe perfect!
Lovely haiku..so many layers in such an elegantly simple wording….
Nicely done! The layers of meaning are subtly tender. This haiku lingers in the mind like a mediation.
Tenderly powerful.
Very nice.
Powerful. Bruce put it right.
Powerful, very powerful. Makes me wonder if it will be me or my little brother who will leave the path first. Very well done!
Marie said it so well: “Tenderly powerful.” Thank you for this.
Sadness so beautifully expressed!
Wow.
Very lovely
Thank you all for showing your appreciation.
right on
Irena,
I read your haiku many times and grew to love and appreciate the poem with each reading.
Then I realised the powerful connection between your childhood together, and now in the autumn years one of you left forever. Stunning work.
warm regards,
Alan
Beautiful, Irena.
