A tanka within stillness here
I am not stuck here
Not in this a town between
But in stillness here
Still in nature am around
In this wild between all
Changes felt
A change
A need
Felt even a decade ago
Can still echo and linger
In this
A hallway of today
Bouncing round
In this being of true
A sound
A change
A need still felt
By you
Hearing and seeing
Someday the noise
And living in sound
Will inevitably
Consume me
As such it does
And surrounds
All around
This is what I’ve see
The whole tanka
The whole world can know
What I inevitably
Will be in this time
Knowing ahead of myself
Makes no difference to me
How I work, and suddenly personal
As a child I ran
From dreams of others
Which pulled my mind away
From dreams of own
Away
Yet now I stand
As a capable curator
Of all kind of thought
And outcomes and minds
I stand
More capable now as a result of my growth
I truly am
Just like them, yes
Just like them
I wished (once)
On occasion to be nothing
To be fog which only seen
Or to disappear into mist
Most often I did
And having seen such I realize
That we are one and the same in this
And someday most I’d like to see
Them as well be - free
At least of that gray occasional wish
Yes
That’s what I would like
Being fearless is
Fearlessness
Is not a clueless unknowing
Of what is to come
Or how you will survive
Fearlessness is
Knowing what could come
(What will come)
And still doing it anyway
And everyday, done
Fullness isn’t
Fullness
Isn’t something to aspire to in this life
But helping
Helping is something
On the other side of strive
Towards which we swim
And into the hopefulness of lost
Often dive deep
As we as believers are those
Who try
Changed Wish, a Haiku
Softly glowing this
Hope of mine in heart and hand
For I’m a changed wish
Burning papers as a tanka
Burning papers slow
Never really worked for me
As a means of this
Sudden departure of mind
We humans call letting go
The support
As much as I want
To live alone
And to know
No other responsibilities than these
I now see
Just how much greater life is
Both with can and will be
Of a togetherness shared
It is the difference between earth and eternity
And this I see now
With ease
The support
A dimensional tanka
A dimension of
One simple way is to be
Understood, yes but
There is far more to life than
Simple judgement of was then
The stars will not change with just a complaint or a haiku
You speak nonsense sky
With a vitriolic heart
Expecting new stars
