Here’s Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge #260. The challenge is to do Abhanga form which is 6a/6b/6b/4c. I did an Abhanga series and used a picture I took in Hawaii. The photo looks out of a dark cave into the light.
I have been getting more than my share of messages lately, including paying attention and trusting myself. As usual, I fought the unwelcomed changes at first, but I came to a point where I see the wisdom in letting go and going with this wiser flow.
THE AWAKENING
abundant messages
surround my universe
as if brought by a curse
they are ignored
invasion continues
my suppression inept
finally, I accept
darkness ascends
golden beams filter through
cast light in the shadow
love’s compassionate flow
awakes my soul
