even through grey skies
sun still shines brightly
above those clouds
despite life’s quagmires
moon shines down on me
never give up hope
even through thunder storms
the Great Spirit knows

Inspired by a tanka Olga wrote at Stuff and What If in reponse to a prompt for Suzanne’s On the Road: travelling with the moon
I’m pleased, Hélène, that it moved you. I think faith in something is important to hang on to hope.

I love your talk of the Great Spirit. It is so important to tune into that energy in these troubled times. Your poem is very inspiring. Thanks so much for linking to On the Road.

How kind. I am so happy you feel that way. And I agree Olga’s tanka was really something. I am finding all the posts people are making in response to these prompts very inspiration. It blows me away really. 🙂
