loss
my heart is breaking
I feel the awful aching
in my empty chest

----------------------------------------------------

wishes
knight with armor bright
come rescue me on this night
show me to the light

----------------------------------------------------

lighthouse
a beacon shines warm
providing shelter from storms
piercing the darkness

----------------------------------------------------

These are wonderful thoughts.
I particularly enjoyed the Lighthouse.

Excellent. . .

Liked the second one. . . it's not easy to make haiku rhyme. . . I wonder if there's a name for that?

And the third one too. . . I've always liked lighthouses. . .

Superb. . .

Marge . . . Thank you my friend.  I LOVE lighthouses!!

Tracie . . . That's my favorite one too.  Just sort of came out.  Thanks!!

Sven . . . I knew you'd like the second one.  Right up your alley.  Not sure on the rhyme, it just happened!  That wasn't my intent, it just came out like that.  Yes, lighthouses are wonderful places.  Thank you.
