her fair countenance, thoughts melt

into mysteries

coalescing cold

are snowflakes on a mountain.

she is returned home.

                    

                  

A/N

Thank you for reading! This is the third link in a haikuplet chain started by Heather Hubler. Cathy Holmes wrote the second link. What a profound piece, Heather. I hope I did it justice.

* If anyone wants to continue it, there are two more links that can be added!

For more information on the challenge by Kenny Penn, check it out below! Deadline is in about 20 days. 😁

    Beautiful. I love the thoughts melting into mysteries, though that's a frustratingly common sensation for me.
