Expand your world
Beyond that which you can see.
Open up your heart
To the universal truths
Of life and love and being.

Sorry to reply twice to this, but I couldn't help it. In my ignorance I didn't really know what a Tanka was, so I just looked it up and thought I'd share it with anyone else who didn't know what it was either...See..you inspired me to LEARN something today..And now we can also keep you in line counting syllables..LOL

tanka n. A Japanese verse form in five lines, the first and third composed of five syllables and the rest of seven.
P.S. My dictionary also says (Japanese,"short poem" from Ancient Chinese tuan ka..tuan,short+ka,song,poem) So I won't REALLY be counting syllables...
Peace,love,light and happiness

(smiles) YAY!!! And I couldn't agree with you more, and that is the most beautiful part of poetry, so we can look through our hearts in a multi-faceted way and find true bliss and hope everywhere and answers to questions! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
