A Linked Haiku Sequence
***
Silent shadows loom,
lightning meets the thunder’s roar—
strangers face the storm.
Wary eyes linger,
quiet doubts drift in the air,
unspoken whispers.
Through uncertain tides,
two hearts test the restless waves—
fear walks beside hope.
Careful steps forward,
laughter softens guarded walls,
trust begins to rise.
Storm clouds slowly part,
two wandering souls now aligned—
friendship finds its path.

Wary eyes linger,
