When Darkness Shows Light
Putting on to hold
Her dream, my dreaming mind told
The other, asleep:
Come on in, see the truth here,
It’s not as may appear.
The darkness from deep
More oft than not shows it clear,
Blow light and behold!

Poet’s note: Two stanzas here are in dialogue, one a Tanka and the other a Haiku. In Tanka the dreaming mind and the one asleep talk to one another. What the waking mind sees in daylight is not clear. The subconscious mind throws light on it through a dream. The Haiku here tries to resolve this apparent contradiction. Yes, sometimes we can see better when there is no light.
