Home-inspired haiku

I've been visiting my parents, and this morning my father described to me a scene he'd viewed from the window. Given my mother's stroke it seemed very poignant, with imagery of decrease, lost partnership and isolation. We both fell silent - there seemed no more to say - but this haiku came out of it:

Morning. Moon waning.
Two gulls together fly high
Alone in their world.
