Show Haiku

Peter Frampton sang:
I wonder if I'm dreaming
You- show me the way

Did Frampton mean G-d
asking to be shown the way?
That's what I'm thinking

So much is for show
but what counts is what's for real
before the show ends

Sometimes I think that
I don't need to show you much
except that I care

AND A SHOW TANKA, HERE

    Wonderfully written! Authentic compassion comes from deep within a caring heart. It's genuine and not showy.

    Liked the connection in the first and the second haiku. Last one is so beautiful in all its' simplicity. :)

    Agreed: So much is for show. Too much, in fact. But that's the broken world in which we live.
