I liken the sun
To a woman
Ever present,
She engulfs me
With warmth
And majesty
Tenders the earth
Around me
And all upon it
Gives life and asks
For nothing in return

i liken the moon
to a man
a mere reflection
of the sun’s
brilliant rays
cooler, creating
raging seas which
ebb and flow
and sometimes,
not there at all
when I really need it

This is incredible Jack. I give it 2 sighs and a smile and a couple of thumbs up!
Loved it!

I like this! I have recently opened something, not quite as well written or yet finished with a similar thought! Cheers

Lol... I like the poem Jack, though I have always seen the moon as a soft inspiring most definately female lover, and the sun as a slavedriving most definately male, with a grumpy attitude, boss. My jaded vantage point I suppose. Enjoyed the read.

Jack Napes - We live on a small planet in a tiny solar system of a universe barely out of its diapers where the Sun,like a mother, keeps stable all her planets and with a helping Moon keeps our Earth spinning like a top. Makes me kinda glad to be a member of a species living here. I liked this work JN. Namyh

Not a bad descriptive summery of insightful thoughts, Jack.
