Verses of Reflection: Contemplations on Life, Soul, and Nature

Here’s a collection of poignant and reflective haiku, by Jennifer, capturing fleeting moments and deep emotions, exclusively for Different Truths. 

is there a small chance
that our souls will meet again
in this whole wide world?

***

all the sun's light
contained in the glimmer of
a single dew drop

***

if you procrastinate
weeding long enough
a flower grows

***

when I return home
my cat's silence
speaks volumes 


that silent stare 
he gives me that says
it all.
