The title reminded me of this beautiful half wolf and half german shepard I once had.. His name was Gemini. The spirit of the wolf was very strong. He was stalky, had fangs as white as snow.. and he would always howl at the moon.. He seemed at peace with himself when he did that.. It was just very strange but at the same time very spiritual. When I read your haiku, I can imagine someone who's known so much pain and yet they keep it in but when they're alone, their souls cry out.. I'm sorry if I'm just going on and on.. this was very beautiful. I hope you don't mind..
Wonderful crafted haiku ... thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNicely done, with a touch of intrigue.
