I enjoyed these haiku. I especially found #2 to be moving. For me grief is eternal. It never goes away but my ability to carry it improves over time.

I think that's true for all of us. We all carry grief differently, but the loss is always with us.

I agree, tears doesn't always means sadness.

I agree, grief travels alone some times.

I felt Winds of Change #4 most connected with me, since it applies to our current situation. I lost my dad last November and while I felt and understood all the haikus, this one is how I’m starting to feel as we continue our journey on the road. Great job on all of them!

Thank you, Kim. I took the same journey with my mother and brother in 2015 and 16. Of course, the journey is never truly done. Sending hugs.

Good morning Dascha. I loved these. I don’t often have time to read your writings the day you publish them but today I did. And wow, perfect for me as I have decided it is time to set my little Dog Pepe free so lots of grief in my heart. #4 especially speaks to me as I imagine his pain scattering like leaves. ❤️

Oh, Carol, I know how much you love Pepe. I'm so sorry it's time. I've been there with beloved pets as well. If today's haiku have brought you any comfort, then I'm grateful. Huge hugs, dear friend.
