The Bats

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

A squeak on high did draw my eye,
It turned my head, by chance,
And there did fly, through moon-lit sky,
Two bats, in courtship dance.
They tossed about, with joyous shouts,
Too high for me to hear,
But I could see, their love was free,
Which caused my heart to cheer.
My hopes did rise, through star-lit skies,
To know that Nature brings,
Such stirring love, to those above,
A simple mouse, with wings.
If such as these, find what they please,
Though humble they might be,
Then I shall pray, I’ll find some day,
A love meant just for me.

Tanka for Farewell

The Plum tree blossoms
Have flown into tomorrow,
On the winds of Spring.
My heart drifts through yesterday,
On the ebb tide of my love.
