engines went silent

the time to fly was over

Thanks Susi. Read more and see the details for the haiku challenge at I Write Her.

cracked

Dark seeps through the rift.  

The creator of days persists

Not feeling particularly hopeful or cheery tonight, but thanks for the inspiration go to Putting My Feet in the Dirt and Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt

And as an FYI, the super gloomy shadow shot is mine.
