Beauty Continues To Shine

One yellow flower
Stands alone in the garden
Pretty, golden, bright
Even in the loneliness
Beauty continues to shine

Even one flower breathes life! In our sorrows we might cling to one lonely flower!

Hi Russell. I appreciate that. I have only done a couple Tanka with practicing these new forms. You have been kind to give encouraging feedback. Thank you :)
