upon salty shores
tides' waves crashing stones of life
in idle wonder
walks along pristine arbors
weathering storms of dismay
rocks covered in green
mossy wishes; dreams of hope
mist sprinklings of rain
stepping stones; varient sizes
persevere, walk many paths
under skies of gray
tears fall from memories thought
love past; recycled
overcoming fears of strife
with each raindrop, tears must fall

This is a GORGEOUS triple tanka. One of my favorite topics to read and write about is nature. This is an exquisite piece, filled to the brim with rich imagery. Thank you for sharing it.
