This prompt reminded me of the haibun I wrote last Tuesday.
So today's first senryu is a companion piece to it.

those many sad years
i knew not what i longed for
then i found you
~~~
tonight i sleep
and dream about tomorrow
bring it on

inspired my MMT [not Modern Monetary Theory]
the seeker goes blind
to mysterious places
the desert beckons

You managed the not knowing theme so well in your creations.

I found you today
longing of the past thwarted
let us dance in joy
I love the first! You are such a romantic fellow, JzB. So glad you found the love of your life again!
ReplyDeleteI am also happy you found the love of your life. I was so disillusioned by love... my own life's... but over the years I have met people that truly met the love of their life at all ages...teens that have been wed for 60 plus years, people fifty and over that met that love of their life and decided to just enjoy the time left. And those inbetween. That all being said...
ReplyDeleteit is heartwarming to know that love still exists for some ... and they aren't afraid to express it.
I don't know if that all makes sense, ... but I tried to express something I know little about ☺
Peace...and love,
Siggi
So good to hear that even the Trombonist finds true love eventually JzB ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful haiku JzB.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, JZB. I am happy those sad years are in the past.
