Owls wisely hooting Grounding and discovering Wolves magically howling Full moon lights the field Each step is an encounter
I wrote this tanka last night listening to the owls hooting at the distance. It was a warm autumn night, I kept the windows open giving permission to the crisp air and the sounds of the night enter my home and clear my thoughts.
The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.
