Haiku 3 Pink

remembering now

my mother’s camellia

this bittersweet spring

 

*****

 

With this Haiku poem I have paired it with Sinéad O'Connor's song "Nothing Compares 2 U". On listening to her sing this again recently after many years, the words below came to me. So this is part two of this work if you like.

Sinéad O'Connor - December 1966 - July 2023.

 

I would like to express my condolences to Sinéad O'Conner's family at this deeply difficult and sad time of Sinéad's passing. I share with those people who loved her music and indomitable spirit a heartfelt sadness that her bright spirit is not here to give us joy any longer. But I hope that her soul has now found the peace that she so longed for. May she rest in peace with her God. Her legacy will continue to comfort and delight us and we will remain forever grateful that this unique woman shared her talent and life with us. Thank you, dear Sinéad.
