Seen And Unseen

new birth, its beauty
sorrows darkest shadow shown
ancient forest burned

Dear Robert, a deep, meaningful haiku reminding me of rebirth after darkest despair expressed in the light of shining hope. An exquisite poem of the duality of life’s beauty and sorrows. A multifaceted poem of magnificence. Warmest wishes my friend. ~Susan

Amazing and powerful. As long as it is not scorched earth policies...But the that is only when we humans interfere.
