TANKA
1
Listening to songs
My mind wound its way to you,
I wondered if you
Were nearby or far away;
Let it be, for peace, I say.
2
I heard it said once
You can be a gift so stay,
Take your pain away,
Speak love and be most welcome,
If hurting, friends, leave lonely.
3
I collect as can
Whatever things I may find,
But more I desire
A love that will warm like fire,
And set every heart to sing.
