in stormy skies
menacing winds rack the sails
an angel watches
menacing winds rack the sails
an angel watches
calming sailors souls in port
the angel placates their fear
the angel placates their fear
a welcome sight
upon the opened seas
a golden light
upon the opened seas
a golden light
(c) G.s.k. '14
This was a challenging prompt from Carpe Diem Haiku Kai ... here are our hosts haiku:
or was it just the wind
moving clouds

The above is the haiku which I've chosen to use as my inspiration. Thinking of storms and the perils of sailing, I looked at this photograph I recently edited and thought that that golden sail in this black and white photo reminded me of a spirit ... or an angel guarding the safe harbor full of other boats.
