on the last day
in the last hour
of a wild ride
in a year of ups and downs
we all made it through
the kinder emerged stronger than ever
taking a final gentle walk
into the sunshowers of summer.
—
“now shall i walk or shall i ride? ‘ride,’ pleasure said; ‘walk’ joy replied.”

This is lovely!

Two Haiku’s from Ivor for your topic today …
“Life’s Blooms”
Summer in full bloom
Beds of petals for our hearts
Life’s fragrant adieu
“Feet”
Truly nature’s treat
Standing amongst forest trees
Earth’s caressing feet
