and in return
she gives me
a sense of belonging #tanka

the yin and yang of an introvert...
I am not a person who is ever comfortable in a crowd... at a supermarket, a mall or even a concert...I choose my times for shopping to avoid crowds and the rare meeting with friends usually involves one other person...My nerves kick in and I work quite feverishly on a string of excuses to escape if I MUST be in a crowd...I even sit in the back row or to the side in staff meetings... Parties have always been a 'no-go' zone for me...Sounds like the typical introvert...I'm socially an introvert, but right now I feel that I'm missing time...or time is missing me...When I venture out, I'm nervous...of what I'm not really sure...An outing = groceries, walk by the sea, home. I work on the package deal. It all depends on whether I need milk or not. pic.twitter.com/wmYIMqscSL— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 6, 2020
BUT put me in a classroom, and I am someone else... The actor in me kicks in and I revel in a good performance, demonstrating a confident, caring and knowledgable teacher... I don't even mind giving some address to staff... Not a worry...
Why is this? I have no idea...

real beach style...

is tuning close
to sands and sea
it's more than
a costume and hat #tanka https://t.co/3gbTREh8U1
it's a silent morning...

in the fresh golds...
The dawn of a new day, no matter how beautiful, can strike a few nervous fears of the unknown...in the fresh golds— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 5, 2020
of morning
I hesitate
to lap new waters
in a new pool #tanka https://t.co/UL2utPUhf1
sea currents...

glow
in silver-grey light
a rocky, weathered shoreline

eyes of the young...
This moment in time seems to be set in ice...eyes of the young— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 5, 2020
transfixed
the question
frozen in time
and no answer in sight #tanka https://t.co/42ySTILBJc
clouds sweep low...
I love the mystery of the low morning cloud... the day is still creating the question...even when clouds— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 5, 2020
sweep low
in fleecy drifts
birds celebrate
the birth of morning #tanka https://t.co/J1dP7u8FtQ
one home...
Vast landscape space under a dramatic sky demands to be noticed...one home— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 5, 2020
and a few trees
in a vast landscape
a burst of cloudy sky light
calls for beauty #tanka https://t.co/zEazlIfLDw
