Lovely, Stephen. Beautifully succinct and full of meaning. I would leave out the semi-colon if this were mine, I think, also the capital of 'Another'.

Thanks Joanie,

I'm not sure why I put that semi-colon in, it does blow better without it.

There's so much meaning in these few words. Most effective.
Best wishes,

To the point and interesting. Have you tried getting rid of the first word? Sounds more like a haiku then, as it's more distilled, less like a sentence.

Hi Stephen,

This has lots of depth and a hint of some Buddhist philosophy, although maybe that's just me reading more into it than you intended...

Well done.

Thanks all,

Not too familier with Buddism, but it sounds good. The haiku came from the saying, hear of a death, hear of a birth.

This is EXACTLY what haiku is all about. First class piece that says volumes in few words. Absolutely loved this!
