Sun,
my light
my guide
one who lets me see the world
illuminate the way for many others
bless them with your rays
giving goddess
the plants all rise to greet you
burning star in the sky
one of these nights I will join you
-
Moon,
my powerful love
the tides bend and shift to your will
each of your craters a gift from the passing of time
inspiration of so many songs
each of your phases more beautiful than the last
each of your beams a blessing to the eyes
so close yet so far away
one day I will join you
-
sun and moon in a constant dance
sometimes they align
both of them thankful for the chance
to bask in each other’s shine
