Celestial twins were born this day their star-crossed paths meet twice a year As one grows strong the other fades the planets all concur I fear That one shall rule the other 'till no longer sun shall mount the sky The one dawns swift o'er distant hills preferring light to lullabyes and sees his sibling's form retreat a little sooner ev'ry day 'tis destined they shall never meet such is the price these gods must pay And truly they are gods indeed to pay no heed to cares of man The one upon his fiery steed too soon leaps crost the heaven's span 'till cloaked arrives the darker one to cast his shadow over all Who cares no whit if work is done and even less when comes the fall For that is when their roles reverse the second time within a year As he gains strength his twin fares worse an icy hand draws much too near I greet the brother Equinox for Vernal brings eternal hope Autumnal ( likened to a pox ) has drawn me near end of my rope |

Doc, I enjoyed this poem very much, and I can tell you I am sure glad that the warmer of the two is finally here for a visit. |

Doc, and I at the other side of the world suffer the reverse. Still I like winter, at least you can rug up and we seldom have snow. Nice poem and I loved the title. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

An intriguing celestial portraiture, Doc. I especially admire your last stanza. Very strong. Take care, Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
