Written for Susi’s SenHai Saturday #3.
The photo below is our inspiration;
we are to respond with one senryu
and one haiku. This is my take.
Hymns of distant hope
Lights at the front door beckon
Guide lost wanderers
Milky Way’s grandeur
Night sky dances with dream light
Tall cacti whisper

Nancy, I feel like your verses shimmer with quiet reverence. That haiku especially—“Night sky dances with dream light”—feels like a lullaby from the stars.
