Love Tanka 1 - 02042022

In far-off places
More darkness than light - few rules
I have your heart, smile 
Power is cut, but I write
Your light: no blackouts ever

Absolutely perfect! "I get by with a little help from my friends..." Excellent, some of the best poetry I have ever read. I am reminded of that hotel commercial, thinking though more of God -- "I will keep the light" -- Joe.
