White lightbeams shear grey.

Laden clouds part, as the sun

Strikes out at winter.

    Boy oh boy are you rocking these, Rachel! And I agree with Lana, that pic is astonishing.

    What a terrific photo, Rachel, and a great haiku to fit it! Glad you are back, my friend, even though for these short pieces.
