autumn leaves whisper
in twilight’s embrace, fears bloom—
facing dusk alone

You captured the feeling, the moment, and the depth of grief. Thank you for this lovely writing. Stretch your wings for publication.
Thanks, Jane. I have a few things in the works…we will see.
Beautifully said Jim…
This senryu deeply resonates with those in the later stages of life, especially after the loss of a life partner. It beautifully captures the sense of solitude and emotional challenges that come with facing life’s uncertainties without the presence of a loved one.
Thank, El. I remembered some of our conversations and used them as inspiration. I knew you would recognize the message.
Mortality is the one fear we can’t outrun. None of us can live in denial forever! You address the most profound worry. Please, God, don’t let me slip away alone…
Excellent!
Many thanks, K.
