Falls of Glory sounds
Contending seeds of talents
Lingering music
Unfurled levels of honor
Nurturing of growth revealed

Moved within balance 
of melodious softness
Greater show of force
Moving forward unperturbed
To a position of strength

Note: A Tanka with 2 stanzas of
a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern

For Chev's CARPE DIEM Special #95  -  one is to
write a tanka inspired by the instrumental  - Falls of Glory 
a composition of Portuguese composer Brunuhville

  1. Your words come to a great crescendo, Hank. I love the ending with 'a position of strength.'

  2. glory is fleeting,
    as is strength---neither will have your name
    remembered as long as
    your love
