Hope



hope is hand
holding flower, blown
careless wind 

~0~0

hope is pink seashell 
empty bed of gleaming pearls,
arms open to sea   


~0~0

my hands in prayer,
his last dying breath, grieving
I light a candle

    Grace, this is absolutely beautiful.
    the first two haiku created pleasantness while reading them. and the third one, one of melancholy.

    great expressions.
    and the photograph is so pleasant, did you click that?

    Grace - FABULOUS haikus. The photo is great too - that flower is amazing, and I love the beach in the background and a little sand on the hand :)

    The second one conveys to me this idea: To open one's arms is hope. (I hope I'm not too far off!)
