THEN
on the beach
at another time
memories
NOW
at sunset
the slumbering beach
time to rest
Then was one of our many walks along the beach with Charlie at Ricketts Point .
Now is another of the recent sunsets Jill and I have watched at Ricketts Point since Charlie died.

I would echo the word poignant–the way you brought the two haiku together with Charlie’s memory worked very well. Both photos are exquisite.
