sand writings
along a solitary shore
from the horizon
roaring waves wash away
her lengthy inner script
And yet another excellent tanka by Pravat starting with a catchy first line "sand writings", which takes us immediately to a beach shoreline. The final line is also poignant as we have to imagine an entire life's story disappear before our very eyes. A strong depiction of the importance of that life.
