I’m not there in person
but my heart rides the waves
to where you are—
have you heard the south wind
come in through your open door?

Author Notes
TANKA In Japan's Imperial Court, lovers exchanged Love Tanka poems after a night together. The response tanka used elements or images from the first tanka poem.
TANKA has its seeds in the human heart and mind. IT grows into the myriad leaves of words and phrases expressing what the poet thinks and feels in her or his heart. Tanka are beautifully lyrical and they are often about love, loss, longing, and similar aspects of our emotional lives, The poems are deeply passionate. Women poets were committed to a life of both religious consciousness and erotic intensity.
