Sharing this with Esther’s Weekly Word Prompt: Vision.

I am reading Sijo, a Korean form of poetry, which has a unique construct and a strange similarity with haiku.

This open verse is not sijo..not haiku …but inspired by both…

Why do I always

Look up to the sky

And sigh…?

Is it’s limitlessness

That makes me

Feel small ?

Is it’s unfathomable depth

That makes me

Feel shallow ?

Is it’s sparkling blueness

That reminds me

Of my lack of colour?

Once again I sigh

Deeply…unable

To find the meaning

Of my sigh

The meaning of

My self
