A summer pilgrim
slogging through waves of white sand—
how aloof she seems!
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
temporary waves
surging through the summer sand
only to subside
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
waves of summer sand
erasing the pilgrim’s path
one whole day and night

    how quickly our work and pilgrimages can be undone – by humans and nature it seems..each new verse was like a new wave carrying a thought to shore…

    I can imagine the pilgrim well, MMT. Maybe she’s just tired.

    where do footsteps go
    when taken away by wind
    mystery of sand

    cheers

    This is a really fine series MMT … though I prefer my refreshing waves on the lake 😉

    I can imagine how hard it would be to slog through all that sand.

    Hopefully just the pilgrim’s footprints. Brilliant.

    Waves can be encountered in the blistering heat to offer least resistance. Beautiful haiku set MMT!
