Tai Chi Logos: A #TankaTuesday #TankaProse (9/18/18)

sunrise

the potency, the power

of the tree of life

listening to the word

everlasting

One more sunrise. One more bright ray to shatter the predawn darkness. One more ascent breaching the horizon. One more.

One more sunset. One last ray before the coming twilight. One descent like a bowing courtier before the horizon. One more.

Always may the cycle of complements flow. Until it is time for a new dance.

sunset

raw emotions in need

of healing

living out the word

evermore

Wow… the image, your words… Frank, this is so powerful. “Always may the cycle of complements flow. Until it is time for a new dance.” That line really grabbed me. How the heck do you come up with the words for all those challenges? You are the master poet! 😀 ❤

There is such magic in a sunset if you are fortunate enough to be there to catch it.

I love circles… especially the circle of life and death… of sun and moon and night and day… They are so good at pointing out what matters. This is yummy, Frank.
