I ask;
what have you done for the sun and the moon
and the smooth velvet wind
that has whispered to you?

What have you won for the one that has done this for you?
I ask;
what have you done for the slant of the rain
that cannot be held
by hand or by eye?

What have you done?

Oh!

What have you done
for the crawl of the hour
the tint of the day?

What have you won for the one that has done this for you?

What have you done for the sun?

Very good questions and made me ponder....then made me smile.  Kathy,

Wind chimes sing unto the wind
and crystal lines my window pane
catching sun beams, bending shine
into a rainbow, quite devine.

Can't quite tell you what I've done for the moon....I'll be thinkin' on that one.  Enjoyed this........jo

Kathy!  I like this!  And by way of response:

I looked to the sun as the moon peaked o’er
to stand in view of the two;
thanked the sun for all her warmth
and the moon for all his view

I gathered the rain onto my cheek
helped the wind find hidden places
wound the clock of time again
as love was caught between some traces

I cherished a moment, than a moment more
between the moon, and the sun’s adore.
