haiku – Page 25 – Tina Stewart Brakebill

to defy the dark

I stand on the precipice

heart beating in time

as destiny’s reflection

brightens the murky waters

Thanks for the inspiration to Sue’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge. This is a bit of a companion piece to this morning’s piece for Sadje’s What Do You See challenge: the night before you left.

So visit it as well if you’d like. 🙂

the night before you left (a tanka)

did we dance that night

or only stroll ‘cross the bridge

as the stars grew bright

our path illuminated

but our destiny unknown

Suspended beauty

Imprisoned by the moment

Reaching for the sky

Shadows in my mind

Uncertainty halts my steps

Am I free or not

bygone yesterdays

fading under today’s flash

as his mind shutters
