    Love the imagery, it leaves the romantic touch upon the words as well I can almost hear the eternal roar of the changing tides, there is so much packed inside this little 'Ku. A beautifuly warming image.

    An act of love ...

    writing in water and in sand. For within mortal moments immortality becomes more profound.
    Love

    SO sad can be these letters... AS the rhythms of the ocean come and go interconnected with all thought and life fire moving so the water in patterns of earth and air an elemental touch the time moves in unknowable process wherein lays the ancient magic of the cycles, as so the karma is to free and live in joy on a thunderous waved return of the gracious now... your words help the works of elves and ancients wisely as so i thank your wisdom

    Time is not linear... every moment is an eternity... a reconfiguring eternity... reconfigure with the moment... give all you have to each moment and the moment is complete... be complete in all moments and you are complete... such a brilliant way to describe a loving gesture... three bunnies who will last on this page forever. I am waiting right here for my kiss.

    Beautifully done..It is so easy to form the imagery in your mind. Simplistic yet dynamic.
    Great job, my friend.

    Waiting at the shore…
    Sea water erodes my heart;
    Screaming in silence.

    nice Haiku, daughter dear,

    it does prompt one comment from me;

    ebb – noun: the flowing back of love as it returns stronger with each incoming tide of passion and compassion.

      You need to write more words in your comments so I can give you little stars. You even left before I could kiss you.

    Awesome write!
    and yay!
    I'm the first to comment!

    Until the ebb tide

    I'll make a mental note to look up ebb
    but this peice is very deep
    and i'm sure many will look at it in different ways
    but when I read this poem
    what i feel is that
    Nothing Lasts Forever
    Everything fades away
    and, especially now, I can really feel this poem
    I really liked this picture
    god knows where you've found all of them
    but you have great taste

    keep it up
    Never

      Thank you so much. I should have put that in my author’s notes. “ebb –noun the flowing back of the tide as the water returns to the sea.”
