The Sun and Moon

The sun and moon had a face-off
Their galactic staredown lasted all day
The sun, fierce, intense, blazing
The moon, calm, steady, persistent
Reflective.

At the end of the day, the sun grew weary
Allowing himself to sink slowly into sleep
While the moon smiled softly,
For she knew he would be back for more
Tomorrow.

She shines through the night.

I LOVE this one. I totally want to be more like the moon. It is exhausting to run on such a high flame all the time. And for what? Mb

The shorter the poem, the more I like them. Short, sweet, meaningful and fun.
