Joyous days afloat
Yet run aground in her prime
Buoyancy, a dream

It may be short, but it certainly is not sweet and says a lot. No one should have lost what she has worked so hard for to keep her afloat. But I'm glad to see you back here, trying again, because your poetry and your stories are so real and beautifully written.

Great Senryu poem that speaks for many during this pandemic time, but we should all keep that buoyance dream alive.

Insightful and rather sad, yet... such buoyancy can be but more of the same. As you have penned often in the past, the future is what we make it, allowing that change is inevitible. This is so lean and poignant, yet much food for thought.
