For One Single Impression Prompt: Reflections
He sat in his cell
Reflecting for decades
Reflecting for decades
-Truth and Salvation.
Before the gallows
He knew how much she had meant
-a last reflection.
He looked at the way
Ripples travelled up mountains
-his view from the lake.

How sad the first two are, a life of regrets.
Love the third one - what a cool idea - ripples traveling up the mountain.
Three wonderful haiku. The first makes me think of the desert fathers sitting alone in meditation, waiting for the Holy One's Word.
wow, that first one really packs a jolt!
Harshness in ku style. I'd like to believe he found what he was seeking.
timeless in thoughtful contemplation... truth n salvation is something to think abt... a pity his last reflection, wonder if she knew.... a most beautiful view..
more than facing the challenge of looking back is the humility needed to fully reflect on reflections.
thanks for sharing.
Love at the last. Truth. It's all about love.
