the footsteps are quick
there is much ground to cover
the reaper follows

A haiku is not always soft and sweet and encouraging, scented with love and goodness and beautiful sights and emotions; rather in reality, it is simply images of the natural world, and what is more natural than going through life covering as much ground as feels right, yet knowing (although not dwelling on it) there is an end that we must someday embrace.

Great! I'm able to access your site! Nothing like having the Grim Reaper dogging your footsteps. :)
ReplyDeleteFinally, I got to you! Many footsteps to do so, but the journey? Always worth it dear Judy. Sometimes... I think to turn and embrace the reaper as a lover. I think that only then, will I truly know the truth.
ReplyDeleteThe haiku left me nodding. And your note, well... your note is a living poem. The touch of foreboding feeding this haiku reminds the mind and soul just how precious life is. The reaper will eventually come, but he will get us faster if we don't move.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the journey step by step ~ beautiful art work and lovely haiku ^_^
