    Predawn Sky

    April 13, 2021

    early predawn sky
    morning bird songs are silent
    quiet fills the air

    listen to the inner voice
    heart now filled with gratitude

    heading for home

    Greeting the New Day

    February 1, 2021

    sky of cotton clouds
    sun peaking over the horizon
    the silent sunrise
    a prayer for this new month
    the dawning of world peace

    ms

    Have a great week and a great February.

    January 26, 2021

    palette of colors
    paint brush strokes of clouds
    a calming sunset
    brings serenity to souls
    heals troubled spirits

    ms

    Awoke to a light snowfall again this morning and it’s cold. It’s a good morning to journal and read. Later today a friend is coming over for lunch. The above is my first attempt at a tanka. Have a great day!
