Are some dreams so real
That your destiny they seal
Or your ills they heal?
Can they portend the future?
And can they also nurture?

Tanka of Hope and Gratitude
Hope has returned;
Faith, too, has been restored
By sweet Sélená,
So by me so adored,
Of my spirit, mistress lord.

I have to say, “Thank you” to BeeHappee for leading me to another fun challenge, the challenge of Tanka, another poetic form of which I’ve not been familiar. Tanka is another Japanese poem-form consisting of five lines, the first and third of which have five syllables and the other seven, making 31 syllables in all and giving a complete picture of an event or mood; from tan meaning “short” and ka meaning “song.” This was fun, too, but even harder than the Haiku!
