white waves collide
'gainst unwavering rock reef
as my faith flutters
in winter's wind
'cause He's taken my love ... again
feeling all alone
with no one to hold my hand
crying like a motherless child
at His feet
warmly embraced by sunlight

Author Notes
GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllables count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but it never rhymes. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. wikipedia
