Haiku Horizons prompt: bright
Bright Lights.
Starry, starry night.
Winter’s sky is shining down;
A most wondrous thing.
◊
The beauty is there,
Shining brightly above you:
You must lift your face.
◊
The artists see it—
The wonder of life, as is.
But we walk on by.
◊
Too briefly they shine:
Bright lights in a grey-stone world.
We love them too late.

ReplyDeleteCan being awoken to beauty ever come too late?
ReplyDeleteI think we need to make the stars like his... brighter and better...
ReplyDeleteI just liked how all of these flowed as one reading right from start to finish - even if they can be read alone - but then, how rare do you see just one star in the night sky?
ReplyDeletelovely :)
You were inspired. These are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful stuff.
ReplyDeleteBright lights in a grey-stone world.
ReplyDeleteWe love them too late.
They get overtaken by events most easily, and we missed them!
