Clouds on blue canvas; Both white and gray, floating by; Thoughts within my mind; Various objects are seen; Much peace comes from their passing. ***************************** All can find peace in The endless flow of blessings From having no mind The flower welcomes the bee And generations prosper. ***************************** See this form of ours So beautiful and fragile Just like a bubble It is the substance within That makes up our true being. ****************************** It holds the farmer His family's hopes and dreams A red tomato See me eat the sun and rain The Earth and the Universe. ******************************* What will my son be? Will he see his dreams fulfilled? I have shot my bow Arrow, aimed to the future Where I myself cannot go. ******************************* In the still moments We come together as One As flowing rivers Empty into the ocean Losing their identity |

Thank you so much. Yeah, I was asked if I wrote Tanka...so I did a search on its form and thought I'd give it a try. I really enjoy it. We shall see if any one else does. lol |
