#Tanka Tuesday – Page 4 – 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. 🙂

fading (a haiku)

bygone yesterdays

fading under today’s flash

as his mind shutters

memories unbound

dusky hunger-sated nights

giving way at dawn

beginning anew

the sun dawns on a fresh day

as the night sky sleeps

Thanks to Colleen’s Night Sky Theme for the inspiration.

shining in silver

lit by the dawn’s early light

morning’s new promise
