Deep blue upon blue –
the abyss of summer skies.
Endless, unlike us.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Magic traveling through skies!
Awww, that was so sweet! Loved your Haiku!
beautiful and great work
As someone who can't not think of mortality when looking up at the sky, I feel seen and grateful for this piece. It builds upon the reassuring vastness to whisper a soft and gentle human reminder. Lovely writing.
Ah, so true! This was great.
