have you read something that makes you ache to write even when you have nothing much to ramble.. U_gene's Two As One was one example and its power still holds for this reader today On a quest for joy We stumble upon grief lots It stabs the earnest Til he realises joy and grief Are one: it doesnt matter |

Kaile, Joy and grief are one Different sides of same coin Bound diversity What is joy without grief or grief without joy? They compliment each other! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

Very nice, Kaile. You can't know joy if you never experienced grief. ~Gene |

Only through life's grief can we know the purity of gift that is joy Kaile; you sparked us all with your beautiful and wise tanka. Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Nice one kaile......a great read.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Kaile this is great. Makes me realise once more I have a lot to learn about Tanka. You make it look so easy. |

Yeah, I think I know. Though they are different, when one has joy, another would have grief. It's like you can't win, without someone having lost. Profound thoughts._,,,^.^,,,_ |
