Beauty So Dearly Missed

Beauty So Dearly Missed

small lake, calm waters
soft sunshine, glistening sheen
desk, chair, no window

Beautiful, Robert....even in concrete towers the images of beauty appear, even if only in the mind. Great Haiku!

So true Robert. Why do we punish ourselves so? Such a shame to be deprived of Nature.. A captivating and thought provoking haiku my friend!

Such is the double-edged sword of pursuing what we love (writing, for example) but not taking the time to indulge & absorb life's ingredients to keep pursuing such a feeling. Excellent write.
