A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat.

Oof that one hits deep! Joy’s on its way and it knows you earned it. 🙌
Definitely thought provoking! Loved your Haiku!
The greater the heartbreak, the greater the joy by contrast. 😊 this is lovely and provokes thought.
It would not! Lovely and wise Haiku, Rowan.
