The big golden ball
in the sky ahead of me
so bright, so strong,
dropping lower and lower
into the deep blue sea.
Before he has totally
slipped away from sight
he bids his greeting
across the sky
before saying goodnight.
The moon has appeared
behind me in her shining white
she beckons across
to the dropping golden sun
Promises to hold earth in her light.
These two that share the sky
& Heavens never meet
sun goes to bed
and moon arises
and across the sky they greet.
Now as the sun dips into the sea
leaving only a glimmer of light
the moon rises higher
and shows her power
her light is silvery white.
She takes over the sky
at night and stars appear
and for cleansing, peace,
guidance and healing
many look up to her.
We here on Earth
like mere grains of sand
we are in awe and wonder
but do we really
really understand?
I do know this,
that gratitude must be a part
of our every day
and night times too
it pours joy into our heart.
So next time I look
and the rising moon is what I see
remember later as she bades farewell
the bright shining sun
is awake and greeting me.
