Finding Shadows
(A collection of Tanka: 5-7-5-7-7)
So many beliefs
In what do we put our faith?
Must we trust ourselves?
Seeking the truth from within
Finding the way in all things
Such great adventures
Traveling to distant worlds
Dreams of scientists
To find “extra-solar” life
Manifest in my journeys
Does anyone know,
for certain what will happen
Two-thousand and twelve?
We must prepare to preserve
Human continuity
I am absolute
Just as within all of us
Meditating on
Metaphysical musings
A path to enlightenment
It fascinates me
How such great darkness and light
Exists together
Balancing the brightest stars
Withing a sea of shadows
