Caring Twin

The sun slipped back his bag and yawned A day for today was gone And into the sea he took a plunge Splashing the sky in colours The stars arrived seconds later They were scattered all across They gossiped, talked and took a swirl Sparkled in the speck of the giant blue wall And slowly the blue seeped in its arms the grey Until black spread like the roots of the sprouting weeds Unstoppable, flying around setting a blotch, Wherever it set it's crawly feet. The stars worried, little foot soldiers And trembled and trembled to twinkle brighter And wherever they sparkled they tore the dark In pieces, specks and sparks Until she walked in around the haze of her cloud A sweet pearly lustre trailed loud She walked and embraced the dark And wherever she touched the bright lurked A round full face smiling bright Like a mother cradling her child A little pale at the edges but oh her beautiful eyes To some she reminded the lover in dream To the nocturnal world she is the sublime queen And to her exhausted yellow brother, the caring twin.
