Dirt road of life walked
Full of potholes and ditches
Where does the road end
Do you really want to know
Wouldn’t it spoil the fun

Fourth Of July
The Fourth of July
More than just fireworks
Barbecues and beer
This is Independence Day
Take time to reflect

Who Am I – A Tanka
Who am I she said
Looking beyond reflection
Mirror spreading lies
It cannot see the inside
The place where my beauty lives

In Search Of Answers – A Tanka
In search of answers
Man’s spiritual quest for truth
Leads to the unknown
Is there Heaven or Hell
Or are we the creators
~

Emotion – A Tanka
Every emotion
Combines to make us human
Though at times painful
It is inescapable
A sign..what it means to live

The Mind Of The Heart – A Tanka
The mind of the heart
Travels the road it’s chosen
Ne’er second guessing
For the act of questioning
Would only lead to regret

Retreat – A Tanka
Blocking out the world
Retreating into my mind
Hoping for quiet
Pulling back from the chaos
So hectic and destructive

Lovely Is The Rose – A Tanka
Lovely is the rose
Petals soft it’s anger hides
In thorns menacing
Drawing blood,it’s color joined
This…a match made in heaven

Pitfalls – A Tanka
So many pitfalls…
Worry ceases not with age
No matter our hope
In times of pain and struggle
If not us who protects them

Soul Confined – A Tanka
This soul so confined
Clawing at the gauntlet strong
Broken and bloody
Silent screaming for release
I am left to fight alone
