a restful place
this message in a bottle
awaiting it’s fate
next, a not so quiet end
imagination sets pace

entranced, horn rouse me from wonder

Spring Sighting -Tanka Haibun
This winter has not been especially kind to my spirits. A heavy heart loomed, most times out of nowhere. It was hard to get ahold of, or figure out why. This fueled my quest for spring which took its time getting here.Today, I spotted my first cherry blossoms! A lone tree, stands among others that still stood tall, gawky and bare. This lifted my spirits.
first of the season
a cherry blossom sighting
as spring takes a hold
the blossoms ripple and sway
in spring breeze, lightens my mood
