Change is coming fast
Can you feel it in the air?
Cycles in the sky
empowering us below
in shortened critical times

Tanka: We

When the earth was young
We were put in a garden
We had abundance
We messed it all up big time
We still live the aftermath

Tanka: Yesteryear

Yesteryear remains
The rose coloured memories
all done and dusted
A lost world that won’t return
but a world where I belonged

Tanka: Just War

They talk of just war
It is good versus evil
Never in my name
though I’m not a pacifist
Just show me the enemy

Tanka: Rain Cat

When it starts to rain
I am reminded of you
soaked on windowsills
You’d love to go out in rain
Now the wet garden’s empty
