Not There

unforgiving night
arms reach out
cold and empty space

So powerful Peter. The same darkness in which I find so much peace has, at times, drawn out the sorrow buried deep. So much said in so little.

Very evocative Haiku to convey the long reach of night in all its bleakness. Well penned! Cheers, Brian

Your Poem leaves plenty of room for the reader to expand into many senarios. Nicely done! Bill
