Haiku

1.

Alone in a crowd

Droplet swallowed by the surf

No one can see me

2

Alone in a crowd

Craving a true connection

Quenching my parched soul

3

Blindly grope through the fog

When fingers graze another

Alone in the crowd

4.

Anonymity

Sweet silent resting solace

Alone in a crowd

Eternal Summer

by Donn C. Winner

The sunset sets the stage

For all eternity

For earth and sky

And children yet to come
