Breathe

Poem-A-Day Prompt 20: Two-in-one.  Write a Gathering Poem.  Write a Letting Go Poem.  I’m going to do a tanka (5/7/5/7/7).

Gather the dawn and wind.
Breathe in sun and frost and song.
Hold for a moment.
Breathe out birds and words and joy.
Breathe out moss and stones and hope.

  1. When I took in breath
    it tasted of your poem–your
    birds, your moss and stones,
    your sweet dawning joy. Each song
    brings words of hope to my lips.

    • And that’s the magic. The gestures and eyes, the breath of conversation. They are present even through these boxes, beyond these boxes. Here is a little bit of dawn in Skunk Hollow, and I see your dawn in Floyd.
