Dawn – A Tanka

• 

a hush starts the day
morning bids farewell to dawn –
here on the ocean

waves once bathe in twilight pay
homage to the rising sun

Soul Soothing

the view up the creek
offers a beauty that dwells
in this bend of the creek
rhythm in the mountain air
unwavering – soul soothing

Tanka Tuesday

leaves in a carefree tumble

with lilt of a butterfly,

grace bestowed, free to the end

Tanka Tuesday – Compromise

below the surface
hidden in these reflections,
lives of compromise
where ocean water meets fresh –
overcoming, adapting

a restful place

this message in a bottle

awaiting its fate

next, a not so quiet end

imagination sets pace

Undoing

glacier ice tumbles
in a major undoing –
onlookers cheer, gulls cry
