*A Brother Sun, Sister Moon poem*

You are the gift of creation
You light up the sky
You represent life

You are the gift of creation
You light up the stars
You are the rest between tomorrows


I cover with shadows
I shimmer not shine
I represent sorrow

I blind the way
Oppress with my rays
I too, bring so much sorrow


You are the flame to the candle
You are warmth and strength
You are power unmuted

You are the eye of life
You are coolness and repose
You are comfort in despair


Without you there is no life
Without you there is no love
Without you there is no joy
Without you there is no light
Without you there is no harmony
Without you there is no music

You are eternal                                              You are eternal
You are all powerful                                        You are all powerful
You are the promise of new life                        You are the promise of eternal rest

You encompass the world with gladness

                                                            You encompass the world with peace

To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.
