Supermoon (String of Tanka)
You light up the sky
As you always do at night
When it is your turn
The world looks up in wonder
Seeing your luminescence
Full, bright supermoon
Shining brighter than diamond
Tonight I'm bewitched
By your ever dazzling charm
As I gaze up at the sky
A comforting sight
At this Unfortunate time
Of Covid nineteen
You light the night faithfully
From dusk till the break of dawn
You are no human
You cannot feel what I feel
On my sleepless nights
When anxiety visits me
Troubling my heart and my mind
But tonight I'm glad
To see your bright beaming face
An image of pure beauty
I can think of when I sleep
And hope to see in my dream
As you always do at night
When it is your turn
The world looks up in wonder
Seeing your luminescence
Full, bright supermoon
Shining brighter than diamond
Tonight I'm bewitched
By your ever dazzling charm
As I gaze up at the sky
A comforting sight
At this Unfortunate time
Of Covid nineteen
You light the night faithfully
From dusk till the break of dawn
You are no human
You cannot feel what I feel
On my sleepless nights
When anxiety visits me
Troubling my heart and my mind
But tonight I'm glad
To see your bright beaming face
An image of pure beauty
I can think of when I sleep
And hope to see in my dream
