You were missed on Carpe Diem Nimue. I am glad to see you here again and read your haiku. This haiku you share is very nice I love the way you've used our prompt for today. Thank you Nimue for being here again and sharing this gem with us. Namaste.
This is beautiful and I especially like the multiple layers and interpretations possible! With the photo, your haiku is a poignant reminder of how the elderly wait and perhaps wish .... for vision..........for visitors.... for memories....for night to fall........for death too.
lovely match of words and photo :) christine
ReplyDeleteI read it before the picture appeared and my first image was of a young girl. Perhaps it is the same for both the young and the old?
ReplyDeleteReally poignant when paired with the picture.
