Lighthouse




white space of silence
wraps the blue waters, colder
than winter's embrace      


yonder the rocks edge, 
lone sentinel stands erect, 
waiting for lost ships

    An ideal form for these images! Haiku as simple as the lighthouse design, as deep as the waters that surround it. Lovely.

    Everyone is saying "beautiful" in the comments because that is the one word that describes what you wrote.

    you gathered an almost unreal atmosphere with
    your haiku and this photo. Surreal I should say.

    To me, there is something mesmerizing about lighthouses and the stories they could share with us ... nicely captured ... love the image paired with it. Thank you for sharing!
