Doorway

Soft echoes of night
whisper dark stories to me.
Mystery beckons.
First light pierces morning fog,
the world of dreams dissipates.

Another great tanka. I love this form!!! By the way, I love your name. It's almost like Lilah (name of a beautiful cat I had) L words are lovely!

That third line so expertly divides your wonderful tanka. Great poetry. And the whole is a beautiful, dreamy image.
