Gabi, this has such a beautiful feeling --
ReplyDeleteI love it!
(And I'm sure Issa would have loved it too!)
Slightly melancholic, yet warm...
enjoyed this one Gabi ... played with the idea of losing 'the road' .. .
ReplyDeletei love the reflective tone to this and i get philosophical - an age, years and reasons why winter is long (not because the season insists... )
i liked thinking on this one ... >>>
Gabi san, there's no end to this winter, but who cares in such a great company!

Winter is a season that tends to be underrated by poets, except, of course, in haiku.
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel like winter is not so bad after all. Very nicely done.

Lovely, Gabi. Very gentle and serene . . . a perfect mood for haiku.
