Your second line "night wears out a longing heart" spoke to me as well. It made me think about how much I longed to have children... and how completely worn out I am every night! Will I ever sleep again? Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Rebecca, you always lift my spirits with your words of light and love.
As for that profile photo, it was a photo of me, taking a photo of my daughter on her graduation day. That's why I looked like I was seeing an angel... : )

Very beautiful indeed. Just as Autumn is beautiful, your words bring it to truth.
Peace.

Your picture makes me wonder if my datura will bloom before first frost this year.
What a perfect haiku! I love everything about it.
Mine this week is...different.

How beautiful! But autumn is a stranger to me, in Texas, lucky if the temps dip below 100 at this time of year!
Posted my Haiku, it is a homage to a very dear and mutual friend of ours, Deb!

No haiku for me this week, but I do so enjoy the walk along the path. Trying to read and post between the power blipping out.
This image is striking - stark contrast, so beautiful. And there's an almost melancholy feel to the verse... welcoming in gorgeous autumn but with a sad sigh for the passing summer... made all the more mysterious by night's hue.

What a beautiful moon blossom, Rebecca. I want you know how much I have come to look forward to Haiku My Heart every Friday. I read each poem and it's like a little prayer, a lovely time of meditation and communion with my sisters of the heart. I am often struck at how frequently themes and images are shared by the poets and artists here.

night whispers the balm
cool while still the fire purges
distant dreams heal me
