tanka tuesday :: innocence

in my garden
merciless talking
an innocence from madness
silence is the say
the eternal punishment
desirable forgiveness

tanka tuesday synonyms only for quiet and seek. I’m using silence and desirable for my poem.

these gorgeous white flowers called my attention yesterday, maybe a sign from nature? i looked up for their symbolism:

White flower symbolism includes purity, innocence, faith, spiritual enlightenment, and messages from angels. Uniguide.com

i’ve been walking in a rough path recently. purity and innocence can explain a lot to me right now, and maybe i’ll forgive myself.
