time is so precious
and I think tick tick tick tick
it is moving on
where will I go when I die?
can anyone tell me today?
This is a taiga with a tanka poem and a black and white photo – created by Colleen and Robbie.
Written in response to this week’s Tanka Challenge – from Colleen – very useful!

Wonderful poem Chris! Really nice! ❤

Beautiful poem! However, I believe that time (and space) don’t exist, at least when we are in the beyond! 😉🥰💖
