Haiku and Senryu of Winter and Love

waiting now, anxious lest the cold white invasion smother all our hopes a man and a woman sculptured in snow, the snow shines they melt into one snowfall strikes silence wind sings hosanna on high harmony in nature the earth turns to mud love plants itself, furrows deep into the thawed world even loneliness must shed its heavy coat, now sparrows are heralds ice covers the earth cold, resolute, beautiful only the sun shines so many snowfalls, so many buddings in spring, so long to claim one's life
