how could the moon
show its face
without light
…how could the stars
sing us songs?

Thank you Mary for sharing your delightful tanka and what a lovely winter’s starry heaven image to accompany it. Makes my cold evening feel heavenly. Here in Michigan, United States, so far this winter, too many heavily clouded days and nights.

Thanks! Wish I could take credit for the stunning photo, but a gifted Japanese photographer is the artist. Night skies are glorious, aren’t they?
