Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

For the Sake of Strangers No matter what the grief, its weight, we are obliged to carry it. We rise and gather momentum, the dull strength that pushes us through crowds. And then the young boy gives me directions so avidly. A woman holds the glass door open, waiting patiently for my empty body to pass through. All day it continues, each kindness reaching toward another—a stranger singing to no one as I pass on the path, trees offering their blossoms, a child who lifts his almond eyes and smiles. Somehow they always find me, seem even to be waiting, determined to keep me from myself, from the thing that calls to me as it must have once called to them-this temptation to step off the edge and fall weightless, away from the world.

at the edge of dreams
strange coincidences drift
boundaries flicker

dark passages open
to worlds unexplored—
so take my hand

Eager to pick at the bones

under a blue sky
her quiet house
of snow
Snowy mountain, blue sky, a ghost of a cloud, spruce trees in the foreground

I'll file it away
Under rage, crushing it down
Into a diamond.

In the shadow of back alleys hide away stray cats and forgotten dreams.
Photo by Simon Blyberg. The image showcases a narrow cobblestone alleyway enclosed by tall, aged buildings with warm-hued facades. The dimly lit foreground gradually brightens towards the end of the alley, where sunlight reveals a glimpse of an open space beyond. Shadows and light interplay on the walls, enhancing the depth and texture of the historic architecture. The scene evokes a sense of solitude and quiet anticipation.

A tanka written in response to several writing prompts. The original black line drawing on white background is of a leaf or flame. Duplicating the line drawings, they become a bookend of sorts for the tanka in the middle - of flames that surround a small space and place of hope. Black text on white background: how long will we stay where the grass mutely grows and leaves hush the harsh our hearts leap in hope that the flames will pass us by #FromOneLine | How long will we stay #completethehaiga 138 #FaeSense | #theSoundofGrassGrowing #tanka #haiga
