be the moon and I
the sun and let us shed light
on every moment
sun
taking shape
Standard
under sun and clouds
a shadow grows awaiting the
touch of perception
meaning lost in shadows
Standard
life and words often
part ways with the rising and
setting of the sun
A promising start
Standard
be the music in
my life and I will be the
sun that lights your day
Always lighting my way
Standard
I am blessed with light –
the sun arrived with dawn, now
dusk summons the moon
as bright as day
Standard
In the storm of life
how easily courage can rise
and fall with the sun
the radiant sun- Tanka
Standard
ever radiant sun
how the moon glows with your love
in spite of darkness
and winds, encouraged by leaves,
rise to sing your praise
easily forgotten – Tanka
Standardjust like the wind
time removes evidence of
my earthly passage
whilst the glowing sun is quick
to banish my shadow
a beautiful morning
Standard
with rain banished, my
heart rises once more to greet
the glorious sun
a warm embrace
Standard
how sweet of the sun
to accompany the moon
deep into the night
early to rise
Standard
concealed by dawn’s mist
are the radiant ambitions
of the rising sun
what is it you seek?
Standard
if all dreams come true
would the sun still catch your eyes,
and the moon your heart?
light of day
Standard
all consuming sun
Standard
your blinding beauty
brings darkness and yet, are you
not the light of day?
jealous of the sun
Standard
hauntingly, the wind
paints an orange veil of dust
to conceal the sun
one love
Standard
drawn to the night by
the moon’s glow, I grow deaf to
the call of the sun
peace of nature
Standard
across verdant hills
whispers of tranquility
rising with sun
a dreamy moment
Standard
even the sun is
resting his head in the clouds
this glorious day
a serene moment
Standard
countless shades of green
gather to play with the wind
as the sun looks on
O glorious Spring
Standard
how spring calls to me
through the radiance of the sun
that speaks to my heart
unforgiving time
Standard
In life’s mirror I
see the fountain of youth
drying in the sun
untenable dreams
Standard
gazing at the sun
only to invite darkness
to enter our lives
a soda disappointment
Standard
a bottle of pop
heated by the noon day sun
will not quench my thirst
precious diamonds
Standard
with a drop of dew-
rising with the sun comes the
dawn of a new day
clouded judgement
Standard
covered by dark clouds
the moon refused to share the
radiance of the sun
going supernova
Standard
entombed in silence
our sun has a bright future
dying to be seen
the glorious sun
Standard
more precious than gems
is that which lights up the day
and makes the moon glow
a dark mood
Standard
So dark is the night
that my sad heart now yearns to
greet the rising sun
the coming dawn
Standard
bright moon, why the haste?
stay to reflect the glory
of the radiant sun
a playful day
Standard
how happy they look
clouds playing hide and seek with
the glorious sun
spring dance
Standard
dancing with the wind
flaming blossoms more dazzling
than the noon day sun
unable to dazzle
Standard
embraced by the sun
winter’s tears lose their sparkle
and drip with sorrow
Bristle cone pine
Standard
to grow so old that
only the sun and the moon
share my memories
the mind deceives
Standard
outside my window
the bright inviting sun now
masks winter’s cold heart
the ocean laid bare
Standard
how melting whiteness
turns blue under the raging
bright gaze of the sun
heaven’s choice
Standard
without blue, oh sky
what colour would you now be
under this bright sun?
a glaring truth
Standard
the indignant sun
will not let winter conceal
mankind’s wastefulness
a hidden gem
Standard
aided by the moon
the sun reflects its greatness
even when concealed
a shining example
Standard
a bright sinking sun
summons frost to polish the
empty streets this night
J M Lysun
growing confidence
Standard
defying the Sun
Frost refuses to retreat
this autumn morning

Happy thanksgiving (Tanka)
Standard
blessed is autumn!
rise and praise the loving sun,
for summer’s bounty!
oh, how the moon shines brighter
to make our burdens lighter
J M Lysun
the last summer dance
Standard
the dazzling summer
jealously covets the sun
as autumn draws near
J M Lysun
A growing shadow
Standard
admiring the sun
the tree turns green with envy
nurturing darkness
J M Lysun
A solar eclipse
Standard
barring prying eyes
the sun gives the moon a ring
an eternal bond
J M lysun
The sun and the clouds
Standard
I see the puffy clouds
Playing hide and seek with the sun
What they’re playing looks really very fun
Dressed in gold, the sun is very happy
Glistening bright he’s clearly looking snappy
If only I could sprout wings and fly
I would really like to join them in the sky
J M Lysun
The moon I love
Standard
Have you seen the light above,
how it shines so bright,
against the blackness of the night?
Though it pales compared to day,
in the night it makes a great display.
The moon I love,
high above,
is a gentle, caring moon.
To the children of the forest,
it never really comes too soon.
By bringing light to utter darkness,
shadows into play,
it brings pure magic some would say.
Mirror of the sun.
Force of wonder.
We the children of the sun,
who fear the night,
welcome your illumination.
Symbol of grace and clarity
always be the moon I love
and forever shine on me.
