Hello, dear blog friends ~
I suspect you are like me in that we've a special love for the sunrise. Every morning, just at the break of day, I walk. At that magical time, my busy mind grows silent, my worries for ill family members fade, and my concerns about our precious planet soften. It is as though heaven reaches across the divide and whispers, take a deep breath and listen. And I do listen - to the scurry of little creatures, to the song of birds, to the breeze flowing past me. It is a time of prayer for me. I took the photo below while traveling my familiar path. There was rain the night before, thus the pond. 💛

It's Tanka Tuesday, and this week, Selma Martin invites participants to write a poem inspired by Paul Szlosek’s photos. His website, Wonderful World of Color, has an extraordinary collection of colorful photos. I choose his Black-Eyed Susans, because the bright yellows reminded me of the sunrise.
I hope you'll check out Paul's site. He has a great eye for the unusual, and color plays an important part of the story he creates through his photography.
Below is my Tanka contribution.
