4 of 7 for Tri-Tanka week
Throughout and shining
lighting night into morning
driven by the sun
solar for the twinkling time
little lights to guide the way
Iridescent here
friend to nightlife passing by
foxes and the like
clamour to the twinkling time
here for them and here for me
Luminescence
guaranteed here night by night
diamond-like it
glows here for the twinkling time
echoing the stars above
