Voices Tanka Wilderness voice cries Prepare ye the way of God. Earth's voice echoes "Why?" If You are Love, why are there Broken bodies, hearts and lives? Pain all around me Earthquakes, sickness, and lost love. What is the reason? Do You not hear the weeping? How can You let this happen? Spirit voice whispers Of course I hear you my child. Be still and know God. Take and eat in remembrance. The way will be made plain. Wait. Tears of submission, Reaching for my brother's hand. Now seen in suffering New purpose for my being, Chances to share divine love. |

Marilyn; These are exquisite! You've been doing your homework on the side. Most of all I love your message, deep and thoughtful and filled with wisdom and His glorious Love. I'm a recipient of His caring Love from you and grateful for it and you. Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

kcs, I have never wrote a tanka either. But you've inspired me to try one. Thanks.  God's ways are a mystery. I've had these exact same thoughts. Joy |

Wonderful job on this.......I liked it a lot!  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 |

You know I've never tried doing one of these but you make it look so easy. When freedom wisphers your name, it's time to fight for it. |

Songbird - Thank you. It was an interesting challenge. You should try it. Ellie - Passions has been my tutor. I learned most of what I know here. This came from honest personal struggle with these questions. And it is friends like you who point me to answers. I am most grateful for you, too. hugs mYsTiC - Bless you for that comment. With that kind of support, perhaps I shall.Joy - Thank YOU! I am anxious to see what you come up with. Pegasus - That is absolutely perfect. Thanks.Javier - Thank you. You're the best. Maria - Thanks. Not easy, but worth the effort, I think. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

David - Thank you for your sweet (and gentle) reply. Yes, it is my first. To tell you the truth, I didn't know it was going to take this form when I was thinking about writing. It just insisted on being written this way. But it is an interesting form to work with, and I may try more. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Lary - Thank you for your kind words. I was feeling very troubled about things, particularly the earthquake in Gujurat, and the personal troubles of several people I care about, one of whom happens to be Gujurati but living in the US. You know how sometimes poetry chooses a form for you? This one did that. I don't know why. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
