Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Another quite pointed one for the Sky-ku challenge. I'm not sorry. Not for the poem anyway.

The Path to Salvation
The late autumn evening air filled the monk's lungs, but it wasn't the season that chilled his bones. The heavy-handed presence of evil he had sensed upon entering the woods surrounding this mountain village had not bothered to conceal itself from him.

Wow, this hits hard. Well done!
Very unique take on the challenge ✅.
Wow. 'our retreating horizons' - I've never heard it expressed like that. Great sky-ku.
Using retreating horizons as metaphor is both brilliant and terrifying, Paul!
What are you sorry for 🧐
Flat Earth, Climate Change: you're really just trying to get reads when the truthers come out to defend their movement, aren't you?
So melancholic and foreboding!! I love it!!
Oh my! This is so well done! You’ve captured such a powerful image and its implications in such succinct and beautifully crafted lines! Bravo, Paul!
“Retreating horizons!”… hmm.. a very interesting perspective/visual.
This is soooo true, Sir Paul! Loved your poem!
And yet ppl deny climate change
This is a very important piece, my friend! <3 Very well done :)
So true, my friend.
We should all read this one and learn.
Stretching the "in the sky" idea just a bit, but I like it! (it's going to be a winner, now that I've said that.) 🤣
