Finite Life

Hungry hawk gliding, 
below he spots rabbit-prey; 
life is so finite!

Ah, this is terrific, my friend! I am reliving some poems of yours I have missed, my friend.

Thanks, I need to do that, as well. This year is flying by so fast that by the time I list some poetry, half of the day's gone.

I love watching programs on Wildlife and it's beauty, but it's when one views the killing to live makes me feel sad but I know it's part of the pattern of survival. Nice Haiku MLK, James :)

Yes, sadly, survival is not easy for many. I love wildlife shows too and I'm glad you stopped by to read and comment. Thanks

Yes, life is the way it is meant to be with or without a dark ending. I love this Haiku!

Nice Haiku. I like the exclamation point at the end; to me it changes the point of view from just the animals to the rest of us

Then I have accomplished my task; thanks for dropping by.

Very nice example. Yes life is so finite. We know something, want everything and get nothing. Thank you so much.

I agree...thanks again, Sandip.

Sad but true. Yet I believe one can connect with the infinite if one tries hard enough. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
