Wildfire

Just as in

Your own personal life, a truth

You should know and understand that

Wildfires are always burning

Somewhere on the earth

There are embers glowing

Flames overflowing

And coals growing colder with every second

Until the daylight turns

And the nights due ensues

Though the games may live

So the rain arrives

Turning all the runoff into lye

Just as in your own personal life, you

And so must learn

Previous
Previous

All days, a tanka

Next
Next

Life is breath given
