Embrace

I embrace decay,
trusting it to feed the seeds
too small for me to see now.


Liner Notes for This Groove: This senryu was created for the Weekly Scribblings prompt at Poets and Storytellers United, Micro-writings.

    1. It's sooooo cute, isn't it! Though I kind of want to try to paint a watercolor version of it and write the senryu alongside it.

  10. We should never be critical of any living thing no matter how long it lives. So many living things are beautiful regardless of their time to exist.
