Life

LIFE

life    so apparent
just a common breath of air
it has been given
from the big bang    and upward
charged with the mission to think

Daver, I will not forget Korea. My late husband was a Korean veteran. The military helped with the funeral, his hospitalization and gave a stunning tribute to him after he died. Love, Carolyn

Very profound, Daver. We have only one mission and yet so often we fail to "think" about our approach to life. Awesome tanka, my friend. Love, Carolyn
