WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
It’s the fourth week of the month! Are you ready for a theme prompt? Merril D. Smith from last month’s challenge selected a special theme:
So this month’s theme is:
“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”
― William Shakespeare,
Maybe I should of written a sonnet but it was a Gogyohka that really spoke to me. I wrote this one about the world situation but it could apply to any situation really. The title is Caring Light.
So deep the depths of despair
Separated by nescesity we show care
No touch, isolation bites deep
Yet the light of love we keep
Flickering warming it’s healing we keep.

Lovely poetry, Sis. Keeping the light of love alive during isolation. Here in America everyone is running around crazy. No masks, no social distancing. It’s a recipe for disaster. ❤

Awww, I love you, Willow. We’re actually quite safe. We live far west of Phoenix in a community that is about fourteen miles from the nearest town. It’s actually been the perfect spot. Very few infections. I’m not aware of anyone in this community contracting the virus. We will continue to take precautions. I worry about you, dear, as well. ❤
