The Dance of Sun and Moon

The Dance of Sun and Moon

 

Mourning breaks,

Life wakes.

Flowing lakes

Give way.

 

Journeying the invisible rope,

The sun climbs to dismiss shadows.

Awash is the blue sky where clouds roam

‘Til returning home.

 

The sun meets

The new day in a greet.

Birds generously tweet

A song sweet.

 

High above,

The cosmos way up…

For years, many thereof

Have weightlessly hung.

 

The sun slowly descends

As shadows are lent

Yawning from a long day spent,

It’s at the evening’s end.

 

“Sleep tight.” says the moon

As the sun slips into a peaceful snooze,

And once more it dutifully looms…

“I’ll take over for you.”

Amazing and beautiful words shared dear Melinda.
“Sleep tight.” says the moon
As the sun slips into a peaceful snooze,
And once more it dutifully looms…
“I’ll take over for you.”
I loved the above lines and thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Your language is set as if sung in the light of a moon, Melinda! Could be recited or sung to a harp or acoustic guitar, the notes floating over a sparkling midnight fire. Yes, your poem is so visual, the imagination flies, thank you for sharing.
