About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Benzaiten's Artistry


Benzaiten's Artistry

Ripples shape sand art--
displacement delineates
design, whether by
manta ray tail as paint brush,
moon-swell tide, or scrape of shell,

always evolving--
composition is in flux,
with endless patterns
weather pushed or wind enhanced:
nothing is ingrained in stone.

The Japanese tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as "short song," and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7 syllable count form.

Benzaiten is the Japanese goddess of everything that flows: water, words, speech, eloquence, music and by extension, knowledge.
