Stone Ages

.                                                 in mortar of stones 

                             silent masquerades revealed…

                   recessed yesterdays

                              ..........

                the day leans heavy

                upon contemplation….

                thoughts flow as rivers

                              ...........


   breezes meander

           through castles of reflection....

                           a tiptoe through dreams

A breathtaking approach to Michael's contest, Carrie. You succeeded in combining the thoughts with the "nature" elements required for a haiku so well. Also wanted to ask you if you watched "As the World Turns." Saw your comment on Eileen Fulton (Lisa). I think she spent nearly her whole life on that show. My world stopped turning when they pulled the plug on this soap. Watched it for decades! Love and best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
