The Couple
When it comes to True Love,
the Sun and the Moon
are a couple to be reckoned with.
From our perspective, they seem to be apart.
From theirs, they are inseparable.
Being True Lovers,
they can settle for a few glances,
letting go without losing touch,
holding on to the promise of Heaven
that their longings will eventually
lead them back together.
The Sun and the Moon.
Two individuals sharing the same essence.
One says, “I’ll take care of you by day.”
The other, “I’ll watch over you by night.”
With that kind of love,
they light up the whole world.
That’s the kind of couple we are.
You are that kind of Moon to me.
And I’m willing to burn all my life
just to be that kind of Sun to you.
Haaaay, "The Couple" is one of my all-time faves...
I love it when a poem features the sun and the moon. This particular piece is inspired by a Hafiz' poem titled, "The Sun Never Says." I made a new twist by adding the moon to it so it depicts having a partnership with the sun.
The sun loves unconditionally giving off its light, which makes the moon shine at night. The moon is a reflection of the sun. As partners, they can light up the world 24/7.
May the light of True Love burn in each of us so we may extend it to one and all.

PS: If you enjoyed "The Couple" as much as I did, you're also going to love the other sun-and-moon pieces in my poetry collection, One Whole Naked Me. Grab a copy for yourself and your sun/moon. 🙂
