Measuring One's Thoughts

With strong hands resting on sharp rocks, I stare afar intrigued by silence... I seem disenchanted by what reality conveys through its mystery... Fear is a lament, a remote voice never heard; a lark's joyless shrill... Written by Andrew Crisci for Michael J. Falotico's contest, " Your Thoughts "

Hey Andrew. This was a different take on the photo in Michael's contest. Good goin. Neat imagery with strong hands resting on sharp rocks...bc that is exactly what I saw! He DID look intrigued by something and silence is a nice angle! Best to you, Gwendolen

This is a most thoughtful senryu, Andrew....I would have placed it at the top of the winners list. "Fear is a lament" ...goodness.. each line grabbed me and held me.
