Opening the door

Waking me early
I knew my nana had died
before mother said.

Footprint (A New Haiku)
The sound of laughter
is carried in the soft breeze
a footprint in time.

悪夢 | Akumu
Dreams play hide-and-seek,
Thoughts trying to catch my sleep
Caught, but nightmares creep.

***
spring is springing up:
green fingers pierce through the ice,
no force can cancel.
