Day: January 27, 2016

The sun and the moon

take up the skies  in turn

the sun is high up till noon

shines with a caustic burn

mid afternoon go a little low

with the evening it settles

at dusk it goes far below.

 

Could not be said of the moon  in nights

it grows and wanes all through the month

a growth phenomenal  in a fortnight

while it  fades through the rest of the month

a cyclic round  it undertakes without  interruption

an increase and a decrease in succession

the difference between moon and sun in  straight.

 

They work from dawn to dusk in full strength

never once they fail in their extensions

being the source of energy and light in length

none could challenge their distinctions

that much could be said of the sun and the moon

they being a great gift to mankind and a desirous boon.
