beach grass reaches up
as if to stroke the sky's face
gentlewoman's touch

Beautiful Haiku, Meri. The relationship between Earth and Sky is very much like a courtship I think. A lovely idea and a beautiful picture.

Gentle woman indeed. Mother Earth grows that grass, and it does seem to be touching the sky and tickling that large outcropping. I think I've been to this place, or one like it. Beautiful.

Peace.

You completely and totally adored him." And yes, she's right. I did adore him. Utterly. I loved his scent, the texture of his skin, the sound of his voice, how gifted he was at working with people.
