Harmonious Clearing of the Soul

Exhausting my skills To the tempered, fiber soul Timeless harmony I follow my heartstrings on Beyond glow of temptation Path in the forest Leads to grand open clearing Obscure light deepens Birds sing beyond the circle And flowers praise nature’s heights Simple minded eyes Dynamic pleasure moves on Leans over inside Heartfelt ties won’t gasp and leave Not to bring loss, frosty drought Russell Sivey

You chose the perfect title for this gem, Russell! It breathes peace ...inner peace that can only come from the harmony of mind and spirit. Beautiful! Thanks for your kindness. Always, Annalise

Interesting work in the Tanka form..I like the line of following my heartstrings on beyond the glow of temptation..I wonder does that mean you did not yield or did you yield?..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara
