I'm amazed at the profundity that is expressed in your Haiku. Your poem is an excellent example of this poetic genre.

Once again, only a poet's eye makes the connection you have in this fine haiku!

thank you, Gershon! My 'poet's eye' is a bit sleepy this morning, but functioning nonetheless. Smiles...and have a great day, Sara

Dear Sara, The analogy presented is quite impactful, as it draws a parallel between fading memories and the cracked pavement of shattered aspirations, which becomes moistened by the tears from the heavens. Wonderful haiku.
