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