Tankas “Dark Rooms of Slow”

Morning bids me go.
In darkened rooms, I walk slow -
where night shadows grow.
I don't want to stub my toe.
Hence, my need for walking slow.

As I traverse the night,
you may say, Turn on a light!
(You know I just might).
I'm sure that would help my sight.
I'll still go slow when it's bright. #carefulSteps #ContemplativePoetry #dawnLight #humorPoetry #innerJourney #JapaneseIllustration #JapanesePoetry #lightAndDarkness #Mindfulness #morningPoem #nightShadows #poeticArt #shadowAndLight #silkscreenArt #slowLiving #SpiritualReflection #tanka #walkingSlow #wisdomPoetry #woodblockStyle
