Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month #XX, WabiSabi's ''old beacon''

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Today I have to share a wonderful haiku as the starting verse of our new Tan Renga Challenge. As read this one I was immediately caught by it, maybe it was the haiga, or maybe just the words, but it caught me ... It's a haiku/haiga written/made by Wabi Sabi of ''Wabi Sabi -- poems and images''. I had to use this one for our Tan Renga Challenge. Here it is, the haiga:

Haiga "Old Beacon'' (c) Wabi Sabi

A wonderful haiga, don''t you think so too? Awesome landscape with a very strong haiku included. This haiku is our starting verse for today's Tan Renga Challenge Month episode and here it is:

old beacon
hailing all strangers -
mind the land

(c) WabiSabi

A great response on our prompt Strangers as provided by Patricia in our first anniversary month, last October. I had to think this one over and over again to compose a second stanza to it, but I think I have succeeded.

Here is my attempt to complete this Tan Renga started by WabiSabi:

old beacon
hailing all strangers -
mind the land                                                   (WabiSabi)

a soothing thought emerges
the lighthouse through the mist                      (Chèvrefeuille)

A nice one I think. Now it's up to you my dear Haijin, visitors and travelers to complete this Tan Renga in your own style ... have fun, be inspired and share.
This episode of our Tan Renga Challenge Month will stay on until November22th 11.59 AM (CET) and is open for your submissions today at 7.00 PM (CET).

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge #13, "just a kiss" by Wabi

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

A new episode of our Tan Renga Challenge, with an all new logo, is on. This week I have chosen for a haiku written by one of the contributors of Carpe Diem's daily haiku meme. It's a haiku by Wabi Sabi written in respons to  "The Conversation" (one of our prompts last month). I am honored and proud that Wabi Sabi gave me permission to use this haiku.

at sunrise -
no words between lovers
just a kiss

(c) Wabi Sabi (8/24 2013)

I like this haiku very much and I hope you all like it and that it inspires you all to write the second stanza (7-7) of the Tan Renga. The goal of this Tan Renga Challenge is to complete the Tan Renga of which I will give the first stanza (5-7-5). Copy and paste the first stanza to your post and make the Tan Renga complete.

First stanza (5-7-5):

at sunrise -
no words between lovers
just a kiss                                                  (Wabi Sabi)

Second stanza (7-7):

????????????????
????????????????
