Haiku for a Dead Orphan | |
Diamond Cold wind gray sky mourn A diamond in the rough Earth was not worthy Tear Rain falls but no tear A father weeps from afar Yet brother does not Seed Earth receives a seed Of rose amidst the nettle Perfume for heaven Promise Futility mocks The eye of faith strains to see A promise fulfilled Love Love veils her face here Herald of the one cries out Unknown love made known | |
