Appreciating life
It does not discriminate
It burns hot and cold
Set to show planning may help
Problems solved but to a point

Like charcoal embers
Burns hotter without a blaze
Minds one's own business
With no fanfare but given
to goodness of a blessed soul

For Chev's Carpe Diem Tanka with prompt- charcoal and
Elizabeth's Creativity Challenge Day #5  -  life's meaning

  1. Life can sure have hot and cold sprees indeed. But have to keep those embers burning more often than not.

  2. Yes Hank, life does blow and and cold. I am gradually learning to keep things into perspective.
    Enjoy your week-end.
