They flower at night, flare gold as the desert stars; sunrise in the dark. |

How very beautiful... and just what I needed to read on this day when sunrise has slept in and only gloom greets the morning. *S* I do love your haikus... yes. *S* No one writes them better. *S* |

Ed, I'm going with a different take on this, being that we(as Americans) are still involved where in my opinion we do not belong, here's how I see this. Iraq, explosions at night,lighting the sky. Nothing beautiful about it. Doc |

Sunrise in the dark...what a beautiful thought. What stunning words to express it. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
