I am alone, a tanka by Donna Fleischer

I am alone

for week-long Spring rains

singing loudly to

the computer screen just how much

you are my sunshine

Our Vanishing Night

I will not ever forget my first night of dark, quiet and peaceful sleep and rest following two years of mandatory twelve-hour night shifts as a journeyman. I literally cried as I felt held by the darkness. It was the feeling of coming home. Can we imagine what this would be like for the entire planet? ~ yours truly, df
