all life's an autumn
seeds and seconds fall, dying
for hope of harvest

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

A deep one! Something to read more than once.
Oh my, but I do love this haiku so much. I am a sucker for anything Van Gogh, especially that which so accurately embodies and reflects his long lasting torment. This haiku is just absolutely lovely, Gabriel.
Just beautiful work. Well done, sir.
Wow! The sacrifices we never take note of. Awesome work!!!
This one’s gorgeous in how it does the ideas. Hope it does really well in the challenge.
