Sky-born droplets stream
Through riverbeds of life
Soaking to the skin
Looking towards heaven above
Awestruck…are these tears for me

God’s Symphony – A Tanka
Clouds gather around
Distant sound of thunder calls
Inviting the rain
A dance chaperoned by nature
Waltzing to God’s symphony

The Spirits Journey – A Tanka
This journey followed
One created for myself
Existed within me
Born before my date of birth
In the universal mind

Rising From Despair – A Tanka
Rising from despair
To find solace in living
As part of this world
Vital as air and water
The creator of my fate

Buried Within – A Tanka
Buried within me
I found what I thought I’d lost
A love for myself
Long hidden by a facade
The time has come for release

Time for Making Time – A Tanka
Time for making time
To do the things that one loves
What ever that is
Like the wick of a candle
Whose end burns ever closer

Silence Deafening – A Tanka
Silence deafening
Alone with my thoughts of you
Tormenting my soul
Will loneliness be my fate
Led by love’s vicious blindness

Trying To Believe – A Tanka
Trying to believe
Innocent of the murder
Seems implausible
This was the jury’s verdict
Too bad the dead cannot talk

The League Of Nations – A Tanka
This league of nations
Diversity on the streets
American life
The greatness of our nation
Is its mixed soup of cultures

Imagination – A Tanka
Imagination
Rouses fear from hidden lair
Racing heart, it pounds
What dangers lurk in shadow
Only the devil doth know
