In this daily haiku, “Gray Abandonment.”
I find it sad when I see old abandon buildings, like the one in this digital art piece. A piece of history lived there. I imagine of the laughter, of the happiness, despite hardships endured. It was a small, but deserving life. Yet, despite it all, it held stories. Births of lives, of deaths. It breathes a story. A daily haiku.
I wanted to embrace the gray. I want to feel the light that once filled the shadows with laughter. To hear the patter of small, of bigger feet. To smile upon the faces that embraced this time and space of gray abandonment.
Daily haiku: Gray abandonment
a gray sky holds tears.
Skeletons lurk in shadows.
Stories left untold.

I shed a tear when I think of things forgotten or neglected. Perhaps, with age, I fear being forgotten and abandoned.

You could almost call this one “ghosts” for it is a reminder of all those we have passed. And how their shadows continue to fall upon us and affect us now. Thanks. This is such fine workmanship.

There is such beauty in old buildings, art, etc that has withstood the test of time. I find immense beauty in their imperfection.

I share your sentiment. There are a lot of abandoned buildings where I live, and I feel each one crying out for attention as I walk pass.
