Harry Horsman Poet Tanka

The Only Star For Me

On this verdant place
Surrounded by blue oceans…
Many billions dwell
Yet on this crowded planet
Only my sunshine rises

Gershon Wolf November 9, 2022 at 8:46 PM I believe in the profundity - and the simplicity - of what you have written, Harry. Amidst this vast universe, the sun rises for you (and you alone!). Beautiful perspective, without which all is lost. :) gw
