Brother Sun ~ Sister Moon...



crimson light
furled and unfurled
rolls across the horizon
beating blood red
pulse of the Sun himself.

comes full, rests for the night
taken over by Moon herself
yet, shared this night
one far east one far west
synergistic motions as each professed
salutations

Brother Sun
Sister Moon

have you enjoyed your day?
your night?
as i have, as i am

beauty in daybreak
beauty in nightfall

~

oh, if we only knew, what they
collectively 'see' in a given day
a given night?
oh, how we would pray.

Brother Sun
Sister Moon

do sing us your heavenly tune...

Oh Calli my sis, this is beautiful. I especially love this:
oh, if we only knew, what they
collectively 'see' in a given day
a given night?
oh, how we would pray.

But that you have called it this, brings me back to one of my favorite stories told in Zefferelli's movie, which I know you have seen. Because we are like St. Claire in that soft moon and seeing way. She's our sister too.

Beautifull poem, kind of a sweet one, hopeful, enjoy day, enjoying night, enjoy all the oposite things because both sides are beautifull, always.
