Old age peering through
blurring hard iron bars of
personality.

Here is my entry for this week. ❤


The Unnamed




Day and night, she weeps

For the unused little clothes --

And the tiny grave.




Check out the original post here.

Touched me right to the bone..
My bestie just lost her newborn baby last October, and times have been tough, this Haiku captures the feels 🖤

Please send my condolences to your friend. It must've been very hard for her. I'm so sorry. I can only imagine all the pain she's going through.

Thank you🖤

Welcome @lyxng
We were deeply touched too, by this Haiku... it was very beautiful and sad at the same time... very spiritual.
Good Luck 🍀

It

Amid the quiet night
it glided past my face, then
I heard the hushed voice

The pain doesn't stop
I'll wait on the other side
Time for me to go
