Reaching

I got lost, on paths
unlit, and never knew times
so dark and lonely;
a heart pierced by memory
and fear, seeking deep shadows.

Ye Gods, I need light,
and a hand to drag me out
from this drowning dark;
have I not been long enough
struggling to find stars, again?

Each verse a #tanka

Distantly

Keep the light burning,
a lamp in the window, fire
from a lost homeland;
this, the one hope through my dreams,
that the darkness will not last.
