Storm swallows the sky
You wait in darkness, wings clipped
Tied down in silence
The world’s weight will be lifted
A new day to soar again

Trent, this Tanka has so many ways it can go. I like your choice of words and how it can apply to many things. Excellent! <3

Thanks.! This is a time I wished for a few more words ;) But then, would my extra words have erased the multiple layers of meaning? Hmm…

It’s the multiple layers that make it so meaningful. Don’t change a thing.
