4 Manik
Blue Self-Existing Hand
Tanka*
Because you are now
Free to fly I shine, glisten
And glimmer like a
Clear, crystal Tear on the Tip
Of your out-stretched feathered Wing.
*Tanka: A Japanese form of poetry comprised of five lines and 31 syllables: five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables respectively.
