Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Bodies of Light

Luna shares her sunlit surface
    With the night
Knowing she depends on her
    Love, for light.
For eons they have shared the
    Sky in space,
As both share with Earth their
    Power and grace.

Sol controls the four seasons
    That he guides.
Luna sways our moods along 
    With ocean tides.
Both are needed for our dear 
    Earth to thrive.
Let’s give thanks for God's creations
    And being alive.

Note:

CayCay Godwin November 24, 2016 at 11:32 PM I am not a bit sure of the definitions of Luna or Sol though they are familiar words. I do know when I feel succinct beauty penned as you have here. You enchant while you inform - a delightful combination. Tonight you have brought me to tears and convinced me to use a dictionary. Love you ... CayCay Connie Marcum Wong November 25, 2016 at 2:59 AM Luna is the Moon Goddess and Sol the Sun God in Roman mythology. Thank you CayCay. It is always wonderful to read your sweet comments. I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. Love, Connie : )

Daver Austin November 23, 2016 at 11:24 AM Just imagine what would happen if the Moon were taken away. This comes to mind while reading your fine poem. Love, daver

Andrea Dietrich November 17, 2016 at 6:47 PM yes, we must always give thanks for so many things that shape our world. For me the supermoon looked about the same as always! I enjoyed seeing this one though! Did it appear very big for you, Connie?

Alexis Y. November 17, 2016 at 2:23 PM Hi Connie , You have penned a well written tribute piece. in honor of the moon(and the sun). It is sooo beautiful. I like Leonora didn't get the chance to see the supermoon. I know it was a beautiful sight. Well done-7:-) Alexis

Len Gasun November 17, 2016 at 5:46 AM Fascinating write my dear friend, Connie. So sad, I missed the supermoon. Perhaps, it was still early when I went out that night. I love and enjoyed a lot your poem. Thanks a lot for sharing! Have a great week! Love and hugs, Leonora

Paloma P November 16, 2016 at 1:38 PM Stellar read Connie, love a charmed full moon! The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth–Moon–Sun system - try writing that one poetically. :)

Paul Callus November 15, 2016 at 12:22 PM This was a fitting poem to go with the occasion, Connie. It is good to keep in mind the 'light' relationship which exists between the sun and moon, and the effect they both have on us and our earth. Regards....paul

Sandra Haight November 15, 2016 at 10:57 AM Connie, what a lovely tribute to our glorious Moon as well as our Sun as a team.
