This Life

Too few, these brief steps
         fading fast, as night descends
               sojourns unfulfilled...

This is a nice poem done in form. I think it is a senryu - not a haiku since it is not about nature. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Probably, I thought the second verse qualified and the nature of the piece is about the shortness of this life, just my opinion...
