Contemplation (Tanka)

by prabhu-iyer

How shall I hymn you, majestic presence? Shall I be the wide sea, and weep, overcome in your vastness? or, evaporate, seeking you?

Notes: 1. This is written in the style of Japanese tanka – my first attempt at that, all you experts, guide me if I’ve got something wrong there!

2. The origins of ‘contemplate’ are rooted in meditation on the sky!
