(senryu) X 3

(senryu)  silent reflection                                               reigns until such time that truth  may abide in me                             total commitment                      from the soul will lead the way  to satisfaction cries for freedom lost                        fall from muted soundless lips onto deafened ears

Additional Notes:
Senryu (also called human haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. (5,7,5) or 17 syllables in all. It is usually written in the present tense and only references to some aspect of human nature or emotions. They possess no references to the natural world and thus stand out from nature/seasonal haiku.
