Breeze

A haiku? Perhaps not...

Time will pass, colours will fade
on each stranger's skin, two distant places
the breeze touches us the same.

Yes, but the breeze doesn;t touch everyone the same. Some burn and others, like myself, remain untouched. Aren't haikus: 5,7,5 syllables per line?

You sound like Shiva Ryu here, Lau, except that he probably would use more concrete images and convey more concrete concepts. I like the image of the breeze that somehow makes us all human and connnects us.

thank you Mia, that is what I try to use breeze as a metaphor. We 'feel' and 'hurt' the same, I think - that is no scientific evidence yet so far... humans somehow remain mysterious.
