Tanka: Magic Light

 

blue whippet on the beach in morning sun, walking along the dunes and stones

 

the sun takes longer
to rise above dune and pine
along our shores
magic light of morning
dreams and wakes the sky

    1. Thank you for your kind words Alison. The beach walks are lovely at this time of year as the light is softer and the weather is still warm. Once November gales begin to blow we will be walking in the dunes and forests again for shelter ;o) xxx

    1. Thank you so much dear Toni. It is so lovely to know you can feel the magic in nature and teach us the beautiful words the Japanese have created to describe it – that is such a blessing :o) xxx

  15. This is a lovely Tanka. As an aside….in the film industry they refer to the time of sunset and sunrise as “magic hour”. all the filming must be done very quickly as the light is changing so fast and soon it is gone altogether.

    1. Thank you Janet :o) It is that time of year when we wait longer for the sun to rise and there is a lot of beauty in that right now – I am sure we are not the only ones posting about this and everyone will capture something unique that caught their eye :o) xxx
