Tanka Trilogy
TANKA TRIOLOGY
1
Sable hued skin glows…
My crown, lamb-like black wool locks;
my teeth, pearly white.
Ebony image—I am:
Reflecting my creator.
2
Restless water flows…
The wet journey has its course;
like life, it will die.
Rollercoaster run will stop:
Resurrection waits at sea.
3
Time waits on no one…
Sunrise is always somewhere;
the moon rises too.
Nature gives both their life’s due:
to die and live forever.
