    Beautiful imagery, my friend...

  • A beautiful Haiku… I find running water, or any body of water so relaxing or rejuvenating.

    This one felt like a deep breath. The lines paired with together creates such a calm but textured scene. I’m reading through all the entries now, and this brought a real sense of peace. Thank you for sharing it.

    I love this, so calming 💙

  • THIS is so descriptive of sitting in the mountains having breakfast by the fresh spring water flowing over the rocks as I sigh, breathe in, breathe out.
