there fell a hiatus...

Embers and Echoes

There fell a hiatus, a #moment, a breath with little more to say; little more that had some kind of meaning... And then he reached for an old wooden guitar... strummed a few strings and gently launched into the Beatles' 'Blackbird' song... But it wasn't the Beatles I heard at all... #vss365

I created this song on Songer. It is a mix of my tanka and haiku I posted on Blue Sky. They have then been converted to lyrics. I selected a mix of music styles and struggled to ask Songer to create male and female voices alternating. Finally did it. This is the result. 

Embers and Echoes

endless dome by night...

endless dome by night a vast #starscape of questions charms stargazers the #vagary of answers becomes insignificant #vss365 #tanka #blueskypoets #poetry

invisible symptoms...

Learning to live with invisible aches and silent struggles is its own kind of resilience. Not every pain needs a cure. Sometimes it’s enough to simply be seen for what you carry. 👉 www.clickworlddaily.com/2025/06/the-... #existentialism #acceptance #introspection #healing #humancondition

she knows my footsteps...

she knows my footsteps she feels my cyclical moods I'm her #enigma she channels my jumbled words and soothes with a loving purr I'm her #enigma how can I be happy or sad without her comfort #vss365 #tanka #haiku #blueskypoets

some trees feast on time...

dawn's liminal glow...

dawn's #liminal glow the sky embraces darkness a wee breath longer when morning unfolds mist clings to veils of silence and sleepy bird calls the world may ignore alarms may sleep on or rise again #vss365 #tanka #haiku #blueskypoets #poetry

it has taken me till my Temora era...

Not till my Temora era

have I really found my tribe...

the spirit that knows me

the one that revels in creating the progress of the arts with me...

Temora has become a kind of crescendo in my life

where all that has gone before

the dark and the light

suddenly has a purpose

in the world that is now
