Tanka Poems
On plane thought sailing,
tap
dance, clicking memories
luring
the night's scene
jealous
of the moon and stars
petals
blooms in summer rain
Dark
jar of secrets
brim full they might run over
you
— who keeps the gate
seated
idly man on guard
manning
the night fade away
Behind
this rich field
of
honour, look, you will see
a
man digging rows
herding
his flocks on green lawns
naming
his divine blessings
Seated
in the dark
watching
the frigid night smokes
panic
off a blunt
as I
listen to drum roll
giving
praises to my toil
By
virtue fall we
stand
to rise from mortal coil
as
we sail in grace
of
heavenly melody
speaking
life to the lifeless
In
multi-coloured
dreams
of passion I was placed
on
drip to well up...
to
rise above shackled dreams
and
set down my agenda
Year
of no Light we
glow
in dark shadow's night-life —
sip
on its madness
healing
on its medicine
craving
its touch and beauty
Even
though I'm tossed
to
and fro by troubled wind,
still
planted in calm
yes,
still singing hosanna
to
the Highest who made you!
