The Tanka of Crystal Rose

Twin mountains reflect
on the cool placid waters
of paradise lake.
A reflection of natures
serene beauty and content.

One day I realized
nature painted my sidewalk
in shades of burnt brown.
Where autumns leaves come to rest
in a whimsical pattern.

Standing on the shore,
I listen to the river.
It is calling me.
Forever flowing like life,
from this point to another.

Magical castle
shining though a rainbows arch
silver sea of mist
below as the dawn breaks though.
A new day is beginning.

The unicorns cry
as the magick slowly fades.
the fairies and elves
are long lost from childhood dreams.
Fantasies, now memories.
