Carpe Diem Haiku - Courtyard Blues

this empty courtyard -
shards of broken pottery
scent of lavender

Far from powerless

It's less this lack
than finding ways
to share what warmth we have
to bring some light with words
to watch the stars, to read a book
and finding we are
far from powerless
even in this dead of blackout.

This is a very late entry for Brendan's weekend prompt at toads that I also link up at Tuesday platform.

Louder than silence

not much was said

before we parted ways —

yet the echo

of your teaspoon stirring

still wake me up at night
