Sun and Moon

How beautiful the splendor of your rising in golden cloak arrayed of sky the majesty and who can move you dethrone you from your fire without a touch awaken rested eyes to energy of work or play delight warming sands for children castle play sailing boats volleyballs and tanning from winter heart you sparkle tears of ice softening ground cracking it to smile for seeds to sprout open blossom fragrance for bees and butterflies to sip and fly messengers of love flower to flower brushing shades of green valleys to mountains for eagles in the rocks their young to hide and bird songs to intrigue from their hiding then at night not that you retire when earth turns to sleep on its side you sent your sister with lamp of softer light like onion vagrant through the night sky undressing its light round to slice and slice to round in playful circle cycle to the hunter and fugitive a path to shine and to a couple in the dark a winked smile.
