Three Senryu

Senryu

A year is a breath
A trivial cosmic moment
For me it is life

Life is not a plateau 
But a stormy uphill struggle
The upland is a dream

He stopped dreaming
In the middle of the night
Death fell soft as rain.

The super senryu - the third one resonated with me as an ex student 'stopped dreaming' recently ... he was just 20 years old:-( hugs Jan xx
