Alive in Name Only

Death, disguised as life,
Leaves behind a pale shadow,
When observed with care.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires. -Khalil Gibran

Niiice. I love haikus and you rarely see them anymore. I wish I could find some to share! Great write, as well. It really made me think.

Shadows warm grayness
Seeing between these fingers
Under coverlets

Oh, JL...

Hi, he11oxNASTY.

Thanks for the wonderful words. I am happy that you apparently "got" my underlying meaning. I live to please!
