Morning hush

Serene morning hush
Present mysterious bliss
gentle awaken
while heavenly hands guides sun
showing fragile rays of light

so fragile they do appear
yet so powerful is their wake

the cool morning hush is a lovely time of day...you've captured it beautifully in word and on film

mysterious bliss is right..sometimes i wonder how fortunate undeserving mortals such as us to be able to enjoy such bliss...

I like the style of this tanka very much... you didn't use any verbs in the first three lines, that was rather clever.  It set the scene well.
The last two lines I felt were somewhat separate, as is common with this format - they go into a description of event rather than setting.  I love how you mapped the format and used it wisely to create a wonderful poem.
As difficult as it is to fail at Tanka poetry, it is even more difficult to succeed.  Kudos on a beautiful poem.

faterider: I too wonder what whe have done to deserve so much beautiful moments around us .....but even more that most of them are unnoticed.

Allan: I am so glad that you like this tanka...all I do is to translate feelings that comes up when I inhale and observe the beauty within.....thank you for your reply that I highly apreciate

You always know how to bring a smile to a face and when I read one of your beautiful Tankas, I am always left with a feeling of being treated to the tranquility of a soul that knows and sees the beauty in life.  Wonderful read and even more wonderful to find one of your works here.
