I look out upon
wind over and rain crossing
wide, whisp'ring waters

There is a quiet honesty here that pulled me in right away. I could almost feel the damp air and hear the water breathing. It reads like a moment you didn’t rush, and that patience shows.
That was serene, Gabriel. The Haiku captured the moment.
That felt so blissful. Loved your beautiful Haiku!
