singular brightness longing for the distant past dreams of forgiveness the answers bloom like flowers in the forsaken journey
the prompt for tankatuesday this week is poet’s choice and since it’s full moon, my obvious choice is a poem about the full moon! hope you enjoy this tanka!
a blink of an eye
memories of happiness
the truth and the lies
surrounded by the branches
whispering between the lines
Tanka Tuesday: Theme prompt – “Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.” Herman Hesse
she's
adrift
no grounding
the fear is loud
bathed by the new moon
lone under the darkness
the past said only farewell
a few fragments of memory
the future is lost into the fog
Colleen’s poetry challenge this week is a photo prompt. My entry is a reverse nonet. Hope you enjoy!
Get yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace.

Hello, it’s already Thursday and today’s post is 3 into 1! Instead of loading your inbox and your reader with 3 posts, I decided to combine all of them here. Hope you enjoy it!
and below is my Etheree for Tanka Tuesday, this week poet’s choice.
flow
grounding
scattered thoughts
on earth magic
inconsistency
the deep need for a change
breathing in and breathing out
a few droplets of lavender
on my pillow under the bright moon
craving the energy for acceptance
Flowers and fragrance filling our senses
Elements of truth opening hearts
Flickering dreams
Where the space fathers purpose
Beyond the walls the world waits
I’ve been without inspiration lately, it’s difficult to sit and to do something else that it’s not related to my office work. I’ve spending lots of time in the garden and reading. I guess, sometimes we only need to take in and others to create.
Today I decided to give a push and write a little, I wrote few pages in my journal and came up with this poem, a Gogyohka for Colleen’s challenge Poet’s choice. Remember you should read each line in one breath!
