Your sadness is not madness
Darkness fears the light

Hey there here is my entry for the Haiku contest

Forgotten lost souls
Ever hungry, never full
Tonight they will feast

My haiku is inspired by our street kid feeding today. My girlfriend @iwanderela decided to celebrate her birthday by giving a bit back to those who could really need it :)

Enduring Love

Just as the mountains
stand firm with the raging winds,
so will my love be.

Watching the city streets from my window


Cold wind blows over
All that I can ever see
And so I forget

Through blood and through air
like an infectious disease,
Corruption spreads on

My health may be bad,
My spirit may be broken,
My power is hope.
