Tanka: Lighting Candles

two whippets in winter jackets walking on a forest trail beside a stream
a black whippet in a winter jacket on a forest trail with leafless trees

leafless trees
the forest breathes her calm
in winter’s grey
a sunburst through the pine
one candle lighting another

  1. You’ve given me such a gift on this stormy gray day. Lighting my own candles with the sunburst words and image you share. Thank you for this glory!
