Cool Announcement: A Freebie, The Eternity of Waves by Susan Constable

My Dear Readers

The award-winning e-book, The Eternity of Waves, written by NeverEnding Story contributor, Susan Constable, is available to read free online.


Selected Tanka:

the forest
the stars, the moon
all lost in fog ...
how will he find his way
from this life to the next

afterwards ...
fields of prairie grass
bend to the wind
as we walk hand in hand
along an unmarked path

after his death
the ocean comforts me
how I yearn
to inhale that depth of blue
the eternity of waves

when I cry
you cry with me ...
our river
of loss and sorrow
salting the Pacific

ocean salt
spatters the windows
by winter’s end
I peer through a haze
of might-have-beens

... and then
the click of a garden gate
on a moonless night
the sound of his footsteps
sneaking into my dream

a large bruise
deep inside the mang
unexpected
the way she turned away
when we needed her most
