sitting in deep thoughts
emptiness across the eyes
brightness far beyond
blind to the present sometimes
trudging in slush for some days
(a tanka)

I certainly know the felling Hank. Good verse.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Blind to the present - sometimes we get in a rut and a funk and ignore the good around us.
ReplyDeleteWhen we become blind to the present we miss out on the small wonders of life.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve captured the current mood so well in this tanka, Hank. I often feel like I’m ‘trudging in slush’.
ReplyDeleteSlush sure can pile up
