Such a great photo for a haunting poem!
That is a wonderful image, pregnant with stories that smell of salt and seaweed.
Can't deny that. Lots of imaginings are possible from these words. Cheers.
Layers and layers of meaning..
you clutch the vacuum
amazing, the rock the bone of the earth sticking through the curtain of water ~ the reuniting point for souls put apart ~ departed ~ thanks for this haiga
The sea does hide so many things under a wet covering.
Haunting. Mysterious. Elegant.
simple but to the point, there is that fainted history that seem to seep out of your words
Photo and Words dance beautifully.
Great job, both of you.

The sea is full of secrets ..
so few words speaking volumes --- the photo is a perfect match.
Amazing!
I'll never look at those ocean rocks the same again...what a beautiful thought! And the photo was gorgeous, too.
excellent piece.... never thought of rocks as sailors souls.... my mind will forever be changed.... well, sorta...
Oh, how perfect this is! Reflective and mysterious, haunting and melancholy. Love it.
wow you capture the horizon line so perfectly here. and i like the imagery of ghost sailors returning.
a perfect pairing...& beguiling imagery
