Suns
shine in daylight,
sleep in the night:
cradled in crimson cotton sheets
they slip in their sea of dreams
closing their eyes
in evening indigos.

Moons
watch by day and night,
their eyes never closing,
their faces always soft.
-- Children can look --
the mother does not burn
nor blind;
she is gentle and kind
showing fulness
or emptiness;
flow or ebb --
She knows her light
is borrowed to be shared.

As a tiny seedling is sheltered
(while being nurtured)
from intense heat
by the shade of the mighty oak,
so does the moon reflect the power and strength
of an overpowering sun,
thereby making it...approachable.
Be...as the moon...
reflective of greatness.
