as leaves stir
in a breeze
movement in spirit
no you, no me
just us

葉子不斷地翻動
靈氣在運行
沒有你，沒有我
只有我們

Bio Sketch
Larry Kimmel lives quietly in the hills of western Massachusetts. His most recent books are shards and dust (cherita), outer edges (tanka) and thunder and apple blossoms (haiku).
Larry's tanka effectively builds, poetic phrase (ku) by poetic phrase (ku), to an unexpected yet thematically and emotionally powerful ending that reveals the theme of the sense of oneness.
ReplyDeleteAnd evaluated in the context of biblical symbolism of spirit, this sense of oneness is a Spirit motivated oneness through/in God (l3).
