- Haiku X 43 - the Death-

Christmas sparkling lights
               Weak brightness through tearful eyes
               Unexpected death

There aren't words that can be spoken. When at Christmas, your heart is broken. Your Haiku shines deep and dark. At a time when, what is that? Hark. We hear the angels sing. Peace. :)

Your haiku reminds us that as we celebrate a birth we also mourn a death. May you find love and warmth as you grieve the lost. Hugs and love from me.
