"Aching to be cloaked in pine" is a gorgeous line, as are each of your lines somehow. Beautiful and transcendental.

Dear Inky,This is so beautifully fragrant and tender — it reads like a whispered moment in nature’s embrace. The imagery is both wild and gentle, like love blooming softly under a twilight sky. Just lovely. Hope you feel better soon...Hugs

My gosh, your poetry never ceases to surprise me in the most magical and enchanting way, my dear Ink! You just have a flawless way with words as if, the elixir of words flows in your veins! I'm absolutely astounded always, while reading your uniquely knitted phraseology and all the beauty wordsmithery that you do to infuse life in those surreal imageries! "time stirs incensed sparks" made me skip a breath because of its poetic cadence! "moon of juniper dreams" "brushed in warm lilac" wow!! I wish somebody can weave me a blanket of that last line, haha, it's just so soothing and comforting! This tanka is surely going into my FAVs ~best wishes to you in the contest, sending love and light!!
