Chilly Hours

In the chilly hours of the graying gloaming, silent shivers rise from the estuary. Just before the waves churn in frothy foaming, Goddess Moon approaches Her adversary. Sun slinks away at Her approaching homing, slowly shedding His cloak as Luminary. She reigns all through the darkened and leaden night until stubborn Sun returns, anew and bright.

Sun is indeed stubborn. They all beautifully fight for their reign. Nice one Linda.

Hey Linda, I like your style girl - a really cool write both equally powerful - the moon 'who'reigns all through the darkened and leaden night ...... until the stubborn sun returns anew and bright.' our sun represents, life and warmth, energy and power and the moon symbolizes femininity and associated with emotional depth and intuition. I love this poem Linda, you touched on my favs the moon, sun, and also. the stars for me. An enjoyable read, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
