Written for SenHai Saturday where our
host Susi asks us to write a senryu and
a haiku as inspired by the image
shown below. This is my SenHai.
black sand swallows light –
even beauty here learns how
to carry its weight

frost-crowned peaks emerge
between storm and dawn, one breath –
the grass holds its ground

This is “After the Storm” by Mumford & Sons

Two fabulous pieces, and I absolutely adored this one my friend …

I like these Nance they have a very grounded feel – in a world where everything, even the light has to fight a little harder to exist ♥️
