White disc in the sky
Marbled face like granite hewn
Elegance aligned
Balanced over moorland ridge
Personified by sunlight
In celestial orb unveil.
Tanka for Snow Moon
Running in the slow lane
Running in the slow lane
White disc in the sky
Marbled face like granite hewn
Elegance aligned
Balanced over moorland ridge
Personified by sunlight
In celestial orb unveil.
