Your "font" also says a lot.
Great haiku! And great for Halloween, too. It captures my imagination.
.. today rests in a tomb ..
must have been alive ..
yesterday ..
Very atmospheric, dark and moody, almost intimidating! Great haiku!
You've captured the journey here.
It's humbling yet reassuring to know we return to earth. And earth claims us.
I felt like I was on those steps...beautiful, visual words and striking photo!
I have always loved the aroma of fresh turned earth. A place we will all return one day.
Visual and words capture the essence of descent pretty neat here! Good work.
deadly descent Nathalie!! gave me sort of the chills!
very vivid -- sight and smell!
I gor the shivers reading this piece.
I meant to say, I got the shivers...my hands were shaking so from the piece that I made a typo. :)
While I was already in Luxor with my post, this reminded me of the pyramids of Egypt, below which are the tombs of the great Pharaohs!
...& to dust man thus returns. where is the tomb of which you speak?
so calmly put
reads like a past life memory
How fun with Halloween right around the corner!!
Chilling! Nice work...
Tumblewords' "Chilling!" is my exact reaction. Most definitely. Brilliant.
Hi Nathalie--
I didn't find this chilling at all, but rather intriguing, drawing me further into the descent, especially the aroma of earth. There's nothing that 'descends' me more quickly or surely than the smell of earth.
This is lovely! Thank you--
fresh air is always a treat after such dampness, even if the light hurts at first.
Hello. And Bye.
