The Tanka of Crystal Rose

Come to me my love,
float upon my endless sea.
Sailing forever
on the light of true love's heart
and the edge of existence.

From the beginning
of my talks to the river.
It has called to me.
Forever flowing though time
and though my life, wild and free.

Buds blossoming to the
fullness of awakenings
to life and love while
covered by the mid-day sun
on this, the first day of spring.

The sands of winter
shifting in the cold, cruel winds.
Drifting everywhere,
the white shimmering beauty
of the winter's first snowfall.
