Canadian Wanderer

Shades of tranquil light
blend within shadowy trees,
rainbow prism reflects
calling come on home to me,
the forest track welcomes you.

AGAIN, you did an amazing tanka for that picture. I cannot even be inspired for this one. I'm afraid I will subconsciously recall some of the beautiful ones I have already read if I try to think of something for it. So good to see you put up two posts for today.
