Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 126, “Poet’s Choice of Words”


Night
a time
for sleeping
for lucid dreams
A time to forget
life and all its worries
to seek answers for life’s woes
find another path to lead you
Discover all those hidden secrets
Then do not forget them all on waking
Don’t let the truth disappear with the dark
Remember those newly found answers
For they will fight to fade away
Leaving gaps to mystify
Confusion and lost truth
why bother dreaming
leaving you lost
without hope?
Wake up
Live…

I managed to get in first this week, AND this is my first #double Etheree!
