Death Is Not the End

like nature in spring
begins the season of life
winter a blessing
where memories are best kept
waiting the resurrection

I really like this, Harry. You're very right about winter - it is where we keep our memories. And spring - definitely our rebirth!

Love it my good friend.... ""Death is the setting of the sun through life oft mankind blindly runs yet when all is said and been done, new dawn will bring the Risen Son."" Your Tanka carries a true message in the Light needed by mankind! A fav...

A marvelous Tanka digging deep into the issue of life and death in a masterful and artistic way! Indeed, it is an infinite cycle of life that regenerates from the womb of death! I enjoyed reading your beauty Harry.. stay safe and blessed always. A FAV.
