Poems inspired by the Sun and Moon

Written on 10/31/97 for my husband when we were first in love:

Love Under The Sun and Moon

Our love began with a sunrise,
Bringing a fresh, new day into our lives.
It almost ended with the sunset,
While we stood together as friends.

But the dawning of another day,
Proved that friendship and love
      do not die with the sun.
Instead they grow stronger
      with each sunrise,
And promise more with each sunset.

No matter how many times
We've seen the Sun's golden rays
Start to shine about the horizon,
Each time is more beautiful than the last.

Or when we think that
We have seen each shape and color
It projects upon the sky as it falls
      back to its grave,
We will see another more wonderful and bold.

Love changes and enhances
With each sunrise and sunset.
Its joys are endless and powerful,
Bringing wonder and happiness
      each morning and evening.

The sun is like a warm blanket
      on a cold morning.
We feel its comfort wrap around us,
And feel secure,
Knowing it will be there day by day.

Just as the sun rises and sets
       upon each day,
The moon illuminates the night.
It is mysterious and changing,
Never keeping the same shape for long.
It can be a giant fireball in the sky,
Or hide its light behind the earth.

The sun brings light and hope,
And the moon brings romance and mystery.
Each is beautiful in its own unique light;
They are both more wonderful and beautiful
When we are together beneath their glow.

Love gives us new eyes
To see all of their beauty at its fullness.
Love draws us closer to them,
No matter how far away
      they are in reality.
Somehow, they can cast a spell
      on those in love,
Drawing them into a world
      where time stands still,
Allowing them to share their love
      a moment longer.

Love is Like The Sun

Love begins as a sunrise,
Fresh and bright as a new day.
Then as the sun, it climbs higher
And grows stronger with each passing moment.

Love gives us light in our lives,
And comfort from the cold.
Even when we are far from it,
Or cannot see it, we know it is there.

The sunset does not bring an end
        to the sun or to love,
Just a beautiful close to one
        chapter in our lives.
A new chapter will unfold with
        the next dawn,
Brighter and more joyful than the last.


Love is Like The Moon

Love shines white and clear
As the moon upon the darkest night,
And stands out for those
Who take the time to look for it.

Its shapes are ever changing,
      sometimes gentle, sometimes bold.
But each one more beautiful than the last.
One night it might strongly announce
      its presence,
Or on another it may hide itself
      behind the clouds.

Love brings romance and mystery
      into a dark, dreary night.
Bringing us closer to the distant world
      of the unknown beyond the Earth.
We feel at one and at peace
      with the universe.
We are not alone.


The Full Moon of Our Love

The moon is shining bright and full tonight,
Enclosed in a misty halo of light.
The soft clouds are drawn to it,
Surrounding its fullness like a shield.
The moon and clouds stand together
        in stillness like a dream,
In their own world of light and
        shadow in the dark sky.

As I see the fullness of the moon,
I am filled with my love for you.
The halo of light is like a guardian of our love.
The misty clouds protect the dream world
         we enjoy together.
We will always be joined with the moon,
Its ever changing shapes, sizes and colors
         a reflection of our love.

When we are apart, it will link us
         through the distance;
And when we are near to each other,
It will bring us even closer in our hearts.
As the moon is ever present, even when unseen,
So will our love be.
As long as the moon stands in the sky,
Our love will never die.

My Special Sun

If ever a cloud gets in the way,
Of enjoying the Sun's healing rays,
I simply thank God for the beautiful day,
And ask him to let the Sun out to play.

This simple prayer is all it takes,
And like a charm the Sun awakes;
It takes a peek from its hiding place,
And sheds its light upon my face.

This special gift helps me to see,
That the Sun can shine just for me;
No matter how dark it may seem,
Nothing can stop this powerful beam.

It brightens my day beyond belief,
Just knowing it's there is such a relief;
Give this a try whenever you're blue,
And see if the Sun will play with you!
