tanka tuesday :: through the window

first snow of the season
i'm looking through the window
the flakes shinning as diamonds
the ground is blanketed by
early winter dusk

outdoors is inviting me
the dry air is refreshing
passion arises as the
warmth around the hearth

a scarf wrapped around my neck
leather boots dressing my feet
gloves caressing my fingers
chilly north winds blow

it's six am
the moon is up there
autumn sky
sprinkling dew
she's always spying on me
warms up my being

autumn is
pumpkin bonfire scent
candles, always candle-light
haloed flame
it fills my being
I'm in awe

a warm cup of joy
an Himalayan white tea
sacred spot
these leaves have traveled
distant seas
to reach me

pen and paper by my side
safeguarding moments
my thoughts and wishes
which shouldn't be
scattered, lost
in this space

WDYS – hollow

So I heard
She is old, not worth our time
The storm has broken some of her branches

So I heard
She still has bright leaves
Her shade is kind

So I heard
Birds and squirrels make their home in there
The kids have their swing on her branches

So I heard
The electrical cables will be damage
She can’t hold another storm

So I heard
She is hollow
No more flowers and fruits

So I decided
My aged and deformed hands
Will strongly ground to the Earth

I’ll show my power
And my will
I’ll survive the next storm

Recently, we had a heavy storm with tornados touching down near by. Many trees branches broken, and full trees came down destroying houses, cutting electrical cables …, lots of damage. A few days later the city workers came by and cut many trees, the damaged ones and also some healthy ones. This made me so upset. Now we see the left over from their trunks, some indeed were hollow inside, but others had a strong core. I don’t know much about trees’ health, but it should have a way to check if the tree is doing well or not before cut them off.
