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

Joining Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday.

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

harvest moon

the blessed harvest moon
illuminating my path
she brings me back home
pumpkins, apple cider, gnomes
all awaits for my return
