Knowing how I'd feel
to be in your arms at last
tender warmth surround
my heart and soul safe in love
finally to know I'm home

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Ellie, this is a beautiful, breath-taking tanka, and speaks my heart, as well. You did wonderfully well, my friend.

Very refreshing tanka. A wonderful 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

So simple and so sweet yet full of such longing and tenderness of thought. The arms of someone so dear to ones heart is where everyone belongs.
