Tanka--By ayaz daryl nielsen--United States

autumn’s rose petals
gently falling
may my years pass
with such poise
and such grace

  1. Ayaz, what a beautiful sentiment expressed here! I love how this could serve as a sort of spiritual mantra for us!! It is sweet, humble and simple with a graceful simplicity that kisses the soul! I am so impressed with depth this spills out in such brevity! I am thrilled to read you on this Whispers venue!

  2. Deep! I can perceive many things simultaneously: optimism, resignation, extistentialism, beauty, love for nature...
