Tanka of June Wind
Inspired by the view of the farm across the street from my front porch
Wheatfield rolls like sea
Caribbean comes to mind
Warm ocean breezes
Gaia calmly smiles at me
Everything will be alright
Wind’s the Mother’s breath
Gently swaying trees exhale
Fauna’s energy
Birds of prey and butterflies
Currents provide lift to all
I shot the following video just now of the scenery that inspired me to create the poem.

Two years ago I posted Gaiadynamic Divinity, Tanka for Red-tailed Hawks:
Birds of prey soaring
Her majesty halts my walk
One hawk halts as well
It’s hovering motionless
Sublime proof of the Goddess
In Rama I create, with soul energy surging through my body, inspiring me and breathing wind into my sails,
Marcus (Gregory Maidman)
