It's Still Life

2102: SenHai #40

underwater view of stream with stones

Senryu
I sink past the noise
down where even my worries
lose their sharp edges

Haiku
light through moving blue
stones cradle the silent floor
time drifts without sound

      Thank you! She was just sitting at the top of the suggestions, so no searching required. 🎶 Sort of like, “Hey! Over here!”
