It's Still Life

0108: Journal of SenHai

Senryu
no one thanks the light
still it keeps its lonely watch
until every dawn

Haiku
night after long night
the lighthouse forgets itself
only light remains

    Wonderful Misky – both complement each other as companion pieces. The senryũ on the emotional burden of the task, the haiku the quiet beauty of letting go of the self🙌
