Cozy Contemplations - 26. Chapter 26 Smatterings
Good Night, Dear Friend
I wish you dreams that calm the soul
And sweet respite to make you whole
I bade you dwell on a bed of flowers
Till from the sun the nighttime cowers
Tanka: Folly
Looking behind me
Serves me not in the long run
But my head turns still
And like the boy who cried wolf
There’s always a price to pay
Tanka: Love
Something to be craved
And treasured in great measure
Unfortunately
Easy to take for granted
When it sits on your doorstep
Tanka: Loss
We all know the pain
Of a treasure no more
Our vessel emptied
Like a forlorn hourglass
Waiting to be flipped over
Haiku: Renewal
Lightning spears the earth
Destroying and renewing
A tool of the gods
Haiku: Nature’s Glory
Fireflies light the night
Giving depth to the darkness
Like stars brought to earth
